INTRODUCTION TO FLUID POWER.
Fluid power is the technology that
deals with the generation, control, and transmission of power, using
pressurized fluids.
For examples:
fluid power steers and brakes automobiles, launches spacecraft, moves earth,
harvests crops, mines coal, drives machine tools, controls airplanes, processes
food, and even drills teeth.
Fluid power is called hydraulics
when the fluid is a liquid and called pneumatic when the fluid is a
gas. Thus fluid power is the general
term used for both hydraulics and pneumatic. The first hydraulic fluid to be
used was water because it is readily available. However, water has many
deficiencies in comparison to hydraulic oils. For example water freezes more
readily, is not as good a lubricant, and tends to rust metal components. In
spite of these deficiencies, there is a renewed effort underway to return to
water in certain applications because of water’s abundance, non flammability,
and environmental cleanliness. When water hydraulics is used, the water
contains additives to improve lubricity and rust protection and prevent
freezing where necessary.
Hydraulic oils are currently much more widely
used than water, but as environmental concerns continue to become more serious,
water hydraulics is expected to become more prevalent.
Pneumatic systems use air as the gas medium because air is very abundant and can be readily exhausted into the atmosphere after completing its assigned task. There are actually two different types of fluid systems: fluid transport and fluid power.

Brief description of aims and content
The main aim of the module is to support students’ usage of the language as well as giving comprehensive information about the language; providing ample guidance and practice in sentence building, correct usage of varied vocabulary and structures and comprehension of written composition. This will equip the student with the ability to communicate effectively in English. The other target is availing students a chance to demonstrate evidence of their understanding of the content learnt and capability to proficiently use it rather than their ability to remember multitudes of information. This module also provides analytical knowledge and practical skills in relation to life by evaluating the student’s ability to effectively use the learned listening, speaking, reading and writing skills in varied environments.

theories, and evaluate evidence to try to gain a greater understanding of world
politics. The overarching goal of the course is to understand how the
contemporary global political system originated, and what historical processes
and actors drove its development and change. The goal is for stimulated
thinking about events that take place outside of more than just our community
and how important it is to have an understanding of world events that occur and
