Prel. scheduled hours: 62
Rec. self-study hours: 98

  Area of Education: Technology

Main field of studies: Mechanical Engineering

  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): G2

Aim:
The object of this course is to give knowledge about components and systems for fluid transfer of energy and control principles for fluid power systems. After the course, students are expected to:
  • be able to analyse and discuss fluid power systems with respect to performance, power consumption and controllability.
  • Be able to apply static calculations of fluid power components and systems.
  • have knowledge about component functions and component characteristics in the field of fluid power.
  • be able to describe a fluid power system through text and images in a report.
  • have knowledge of measurements on components and systems.


Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer, Machine Elements and Automatic Control

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Supplementary courses:
Hydraulic Servo Systems, Fluid Power Systems and Transmission, Mechanical Engineering Systems - Project Course

Organisation:
The teaching consists of lectures, lessons and laboratory exercises.

Course contents:
Energy transmission based on hydraulics and pneumatics. Basic fluid dynamics. Component knowledge with respect to functionality and design of pumps, motors, cylinders, valves, accumulators, filters and line components. Characteristics of fluids.
