This review is from: Fluid Power Design Handbook (Fluid Power and Control, 12) 3rd Edition Revised & Expanded (Hardcover)
I read this book several times; It is a different book and the more I read sections of it, the more I like, and appreciate it. It has a different approach in many of the hydraulics case studies, for example: in evaluating flow through orifices/local resistance to flow, or has good formulas to calculate internal leakage in a spool valve when the spool is centered, or in the case it is eccentric. The book has some interesting comments on cavitation.
It is useful for a beginner to mid career engineer trying to stretch their wings and fly solo; it is a wise/reference type book for an experienced engineer.
Once you read this book, and Herbert Merritt's book on "Hydraulic Control Systems", you get a different, deeper understanding of hydraulics.
I recommend Frank Yeaple's "Fluid Power Design Handbook".
