That branch of science which treats of the mechanical properties of air and other elastic fluids, as of their weight, pressure, elasticity, etc. See Mechanics.
A branch of mechanics that used air drivers and compressors for movement.
Engineering science pertaining to gaseous pressure and flow. ( 250)
the branch of mechanics that deals with the mechanical properties of gases
Using air or gas pressure to operate mechanical devices.
a system of valves and cylinders driven by compressed air
If energy transfer is in the form of compressed airflow then it is known as pneumatics. In industry compressed air is generated by using a machine called a compressor, which draws in normal air, squeezes it to increase its pressure and then passes it through a moisture separator and stores it in the reservoir for later use in the factory.
Pneumatics (from the Greek πνευματικός pneumatikos, coming from the wind) is the use of pressurized gas to do work in science and technology.
