From the Back Cover
Now in its sixth edition, Fluid Power with Applications continues to provide readers with an in-depth background in the field of fluid power. Emphasizing such subjects as design, analysis, operation, maintenance, and practical applications, this text not only provides the "why," but also the "how" of fluid power systems operations.
Features of the sixth edition include:
- All material on ancillary hydraulic devices has been combined into a new Chapter 11, resulting in more coherent and focused chapters on these and other major components.
- Example problems and end-of-chapter exercises have been updated to better reflect current industrial applications.
- A new section 8.6 includes coverage on proportional control valves.
- Derivations of key equations have been removed from various chapters and combined into a new Appendix I, allowing readers to better concentrate on applications without undue emphasis on mathematical analysis.
- Updated photos and illustrations reflect current fluid power technology.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Not enough examples,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fluid Power with Applications (5th Edition) (Hardcover)
I am a an engineering student with a gpa of 3.93 (73 hours). I have found this to be one of the least helpfull books I have ever used. The examples worked are at such a low complexity level, that they do almost no good for solving the problems at the end of the chapters. There are entire concepts that are missing explanation and you can only hope that you will have a good enough proffesor to explain during lecture. I do not have that luxury, mine will only go over the illustrated examples in the book.
1.0 out of 5 stars
TERRIBLE BOOK!!,
This review is from: Fluid Power with Applications (7th Edition) (Hardcover)
I AM AN ENGINEERING STUDENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN USING THIS BOOK FOR MORE THAN A MONTH ALREADY. THE BOOK IS POORLY WRITTEN, THE BINDING IS FALLING APART AND HALF OF THE ANSWERS IN THE BACK OF THE BOOK ARE WRONG!! I HAVE ADDRESSED THIS WITH THE PUBLISHER, AND THE AUTHOR WHO WILL NOT RESPOND. THERE ARE FAR BETTER HYDRAULICS BOOKS OUT THERE FOR HALF THE PRICE OF THIS ONE, THAT ARE 100 TIMES BETTER!!
NOT TO MENTION, THE CD (THAT YOU PAY FOR) IN THE BOOK, IS NOTHING MORE THAN AN ADVERTISEMENT FOR AUTOMATION STUDIO.
