About the Book

This book presents a comprehensive treatment of the principles of hydraulics and pneumatics.
The main objective of writing this book is to give a clear understanding of the concepts underlying hydraulics and pneumatics. The twelve years
of question papers of VTU has been solved to give a flavor of questions that appear in the examination and a liberal number of numerical
examples are given which include examination questions from various universities. Some of the problems of routine nature has been included to
familiarize the readers with the numerical manipulations and orders of magnitude of various parameters that occur in the subject of hydraulics
and pneumatics.
This book is useful for students and engineers in mechanical, production, automobile, and mechatronics engineering who wish to understand
Hydraulics and pneumatics technology and apply it in solving the engineering problems and is primarily designed for the use of graduate and
postgraduate students, as well as students who are preparing for AMIE.
