Fluid Power System Dynamics

In English; Department of Mechanical Engineering University of Minnesota. — Minneapolis: Center for Compact and Efficient Fluid Power, 2009. — 48 p. "Fluid Power System Dynamics" covers fluid power components and circuits. It was created for inclusion in the standard undergraduate system dynamics course that typically covers fluid systems but not fluid power. It can also be used as a self-study introduction to fluid power for working engineers who are new to fluid power. It has been used in courses at several of the CCEFP universities. Contents: . Introduction . Overview. Fluid Power Examples. Analyzing Fluid Power Systems. Basic Principles of Fluid Power . Pressure and Flow. Power and Efficiency. Hydraulic Fluids. Fluid Behavior (Viscosity, Bulk Modulus, Pascal’s Law, High Forces). Conduit Flow (Pressure Losses in Conduits). Bends and Fittings. Orifice Flow. Fluid Power Components . Cylinders. Pumps and Motors. Control Valves (Dynamic Models for Valves, Valve Symbols). Accumulators. Filters. Reservoirs. Hoses and Fittings. Hydraulic Circuit Analysis . Fluid Resistance. Fluid Capacitance. Fluid Inertance. Connection Laws and States (Connections, State Variables). Example Systems. Bibliography . Fluid Power Symbols .
