New Features

? Details the working principles, advantages, disadvantages and applications of each instrument. ? Extensive coverage of topics such as Electronic measurements and Automatic process control systems for industrial processes. ? Incorporates computer-aided measurement and control by providing coverage on microprocessor-based control such as programmable logic controllers (PLC?s) and distributed digital control (DDC) systems. ? Orientation tables have been provided to help reader select right instruments for specific application. ? Three New chapters on Power and Energy Measurements, Sensors and Transducers, and Application of Control Systems have been added to cover entire gamut of industrial measurement. ? Topical organization has been done to make it easy for the students to visualize the logical flow of topics. ? The mathematics of the subject are minimized, and more emphasis is placed on examples that illustrate principles and concepts of great practical importance. ? Bridges the gap between theoretical learning and practical implementation of instrumentation and control concepts for process industries by means case studies. New to the edition : ? Three new chapters: ? Power and Energy Measurements (Chapter 4) ? Sensors and Transducers (Chapter 15) ? Application of Control Systems (Chapter 20) ? Detailed coverage of Microprocessor-based controls (Chapter 17) ? Three other chapters: Units and Standards of Measurements ; Electronic Measurements; Automatic Process Control Systems and Controllers have been thoroughly revised and updated ? Case studies have been discussed for bridging the gap between theoretical learning and practical implementation. This will help students to revisit the concepts and refresh their overall understanding. ? New sections on Transfer function, Differential equation and Laplace transform (Chapter 14). ? Topical organization has been done to make it easy for the students to visualize the logical flow of topics. Pedagogy: An extensive set of review questions (exercises, self check quizzes such as True/False, choosing appropriate answers, and fill-in the blanks) accompanies each chapter and reinforces student?s ability to apply the concepts to real problems. Pedagogy includes: ? Examples : 58 ? Short Answer Questions: 218 ? MCQ?s : 196 ? True False : 218 ? Fill in the blanks : 173 Total : 863
