Choice Review

An honest work that aims to instruct as well as to prescribe. Engineers and technicians who design and troubleshoot industrial hydraulic and pneumatic systems, whether in mining, manufacturing, or materials processing, will want these books because they are so carefully organized and well written. Even a starting graduate in mechanical engineering will know hydraulic systems well enough to understand design rationales and basic troubleshooting after reading both volumes from cover to cover. Hehn does not stint on detail; but the many figures he includes are generally self-evident and tie in well with the accompanying text to sustain reader interest. This reviewer especially liked two chapters in the second volume: one describes the appropriate sizing of components, and another considers transient flows and feedback control. This feature alone makes this set superior to E. Andrew Parr's Hydraulics and Pneumatics: A Technician's and Engineer's Guide (CH, Sep'91). A good choice for advanced undergraduate through professional readers.
