Description

Fluid power is a term that describes hydraulic and pneumatic technologies which use fluid to transmit power from one location to another. Fluid powers are used largely in many of the industrial branches. Hydraulics and pneumatics have infinite application in all sectors. Hydraulics relates to fluids and Pneumatics to gas. Pneumatics hold many advantages that make it more suitable for many applications. Hydrostatics deals with the mechanics of still fluids and uses the theory of equilibrium conditions in the fluid. Actuators are mechanical or electro-mechanical devices that are responsible for moving or controlling a mechanism or system. This course is designed in such a way that it gives a detailed note about hydraulics, pneumatics, and actuators. After completion of this course, students will have a clear idea on the principles of hydraulics, hydrostatic, and pneumatics, and about  their types in detail.

Nabeel Ashraf

Nabeel has over 20 years’ experience in the area of Civil Construction Design and Mechanical Engineering. After completing his Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey, Nabeel started his career as a Site Engineer in an air-conditioning firm where he was involved in planning, designing and execution of site plans for air-conditioning systems. He later joined construction industry as Maintenance Engineer where has was in charge of the maintenance work of heavy machinery. Nabeel has a passion for teaching and worked as a part time lecturer in engineering in different universities in Australia and also overseas. He was also involved in the research work and was a jury member for many Master’s theses dissertation. For the past nine years he has been working as a Lecturer at North Metropolitan TAFE, Perth. In addition to his teaching duties at TAFE, Nabeel has also been involved in conducting training need analysis of the trainees working in different organisations in Perth. He is advising the employers the training needs solutions of their trainees from Cert III to the Advanced Diploma level. Nabeel is a knowledgeable and extremely passionate lecturer.
