The Analysis and Design of Pneumatic Systems

This book is devoted to the specialized subject of pneumatics. Its purposes are 1) to explain clearly the basic mechanics of compressible flow 2) to formulate general procedures for the preliminary evaluation and the detailed design analysis of pneumatic components and systems, 3) to provide the basic tools required to perform this analysis efficient. The material selected for this book has been guided by the needs of mechanical engineers working in the field of pneumatics and by the authors' experience as a teacher and a control system analyst
