10.1 Introduction
There are a number of hydraulic systems, other than the hydraulic turbines and pumps that are of great service to the human beings. These devices may be reciprocating or rotary type or even the movement may be intermittent. In this chapter, we shall look at such devices.
Reciprocating systems have been used for a long time, since the industrial revolution. It is made of a piston reciprocating in a cylinder between the two extreme piston positions, known as dead centres. These are used in steam engine, internal combustion engine, ...
