| Description:
| Aims:
To give the student an appreciation of the transmission of power using hydraulic and pneumatic systems. To give detail of typical applications in mobile and industrial fields.
Learning Outcomes After taking this unit the student should be able to: Analyse the operation of fluid power system components and select the correct type and size for a given duty. Derive the equations of motion for typical fluid power systems and hence obtain their dynamic response. Design fluid power systems for simple applications.
Skills:Numeracy; problem solving; working independently.
Content:
Types of hydraulic fluid and their physical properties, contamination control. Hydraulic pump and motor types, flow and pressure control valves, accumulators and hydrostatic transmissions. Valve and pump controlled hydraulic circuits and their design, system efficiency considerations. Fluid compressibility, system stiffness. Servo systems and electrohydraulic valves. Flow fluctuation and noise effects. Topics for self study that could be examined.
