The Second Edition of the bestselling Measurement, Instrumentation, and Sensors Handbook brings together all aspects of the design and implementation of measurement, instrumentation, and sensors.
Author: John G. WebsterEditor: CRC PressISBN: Size: 13,71 MBFormat: PDF, MobiRead: 870This new edition of the bestselling Measurement, Instrumentation, and Sensors Handbook brings together all aspects of the design and implementation of measurement, instrumentation, and sensors. Reflecting the current state of the art, it describes the use of instruments and techniques for performing practical measurements in engineering, physics, chemistry, and the life sciences; explains sensors and the associated hardware and software; and discusses processing systems, automatic data acquisition, reduction and analysis, operation characteristics, accuracy, errors, calibrations, and the incorporation of standards for control purposes. Author: Jacob FradenEditor: SpringerISBN: Size: 12,76 MBFormat: PDF, MobiRead: 423This book presents a comprehensive and up-to-date account of the theory (physical principles), design, and practical implementations of various sensors for scientific, industrial, and consumer applications. This latest edition focuses on the sensing technologies driven by the expanding use of sensors in mobile devices. These new miniature sensors will be described, with an emphasis on smart sensors which have embedded processing systems.
The chapter on chemical sensors has also been expanded to present the latest developments. Digital systems, however complex and intelligent they may be, must receive information from the outside world that is generally analog and not electrical. Sensors are interface devices between various physical values and the electronic circuits that 'understand' only a language of moving electrical charges. In other words, sensors are the eyes, ears, and noses of silicon chips. Unlike other books on sensors, the Handbook of Modern Sensors is organized according to the measured variables (temperature, pressure, position, etc.).
This book is a reference text for students, researchers interested in modern instrumentation (applied physicists and engineers), sensor designers, application engineers and technicians whose job it is to understand, select and/or design sensors for practical systems. Author: Erika Kress-RogersEditor: Woodhead PublishingISBN: 606Size: 16,46 MBFormat: PDF, ePubRead: 191Providing an authoritative and practical guide to the range of instrumentation and sensors available to the food technology professional, the first edition of 'Instrumentation and Sensors for the Food Industry' quickly established itself as the standard work in its field.
This new edition has been comprehensively revised to include new developments and techniques, including the development of on-line sensors for immediate analysis and control of production. It has been expanded to a larger format and is now organized into five parts, including a substantial appendix with a glossary of sensors terminology and ancillary tables. Author: Swapan BasuEditor: Academic PressISBN: Size: 19,85 MBFormat: PDF, KindleRead: 772The book discusses instrumentation and control in modern fossil fuel power plants, with an emphasis on selecting the most appropriate systems subject to constraints engineers have for their projects. It provides all the plant process and design details, including specification sheets and standards currently followed in the plant. Among the unique features of the book are the inclusion of control loop strategies and BMS/FSSS step by step logic, coverage of analytical instruments and technologies for pollution and energy savings, and coverage of the trends toward filed bus systems and integration of subsystems into one network with the help of embedded controllers and OPC interfaces. The book includes comprehensive listings of operating values and ranges of parameters for temperature, pressure, flow, level, etc of a typical 250/500 MW thermal power plant.
Appropriate for project engineers as well as instrumentation/control engineers, the book also includes tables, charts, and figures from real-life projects around the world. Covers systems in use in a wide range of power plants: conventional thermal power plants, combined/cogen plants, supercritical plants, and once through boilers Presents practical design aspects and current trends in instrumentation Discusses why and how to change control strategies when systems are updated/changed Provides instrumentation selection techniques based on operating parameters. Spec sheets are included for each type of instrument. Consistent with current professional practice in North America, Europe, and India. Author: Committee on New Sensor Technologies: Materials and ApplicationsEditor: National Academies PressISBN: Size: 19,97 MBFormat: PDF, ePub, MobiRead: 693Advances in materials science and engineering have paved the way for the development of new and more capable sensors. Drawing upon case studies from manufacturing and structural monitoring and involving chemical and long wave-length infrared sensors, this book suggests an approach that frames the relevant technical issues in such a way as to expedite the consideration of new and novel sensor materials.

It enables a multidisciplinary approach for identifying opportunities and making realistic assessments of technical risk and could be used to guide relevant research and development in sensor technologies. Author: Ram贸n Pall谩s-ArenyEditor: Wiley-InterscienceISBN: 329Size: 10,23 MBFormat: PDF, ePub, MobiRead: 398Praise for the First Edition. 'A unique piece of work, a book for electronics engineering, in general, but well suited and excellently applicable also to biomedical engineering. I recommend it with no reservation, congratulating the authors for the job performed.' -IEEE Engineering in Medicine & Biology 'Describes a broad range of sensors in practical use and some circuit designs; copious information about electronic components is supplied, a matter of great value to electronic engineers. A large number of applications are supplied for each type of sensor described. This volume is of considerable importance.'
-Robotica In this new edition of their successful book, renowned authorities Ramon Pall脙 s-Areny and John Webster bring you up to speed on the latest advances in sensor technology, addressing both the explosive growth in the use of microsensors and improvements made in classical macrosensors. They continue to offer the only combined treatment for both sensors and the signal-conditioning circuits associated with them, following the discussion of a given sensor and its applications with signal-conditioning methods for this type of sensor.
New and expanded coverage includes:. New sections on sensor materials and microsensor technology. Basic measurement methods and primary sensors for common physical quantities.
A wide range of new sensors, from magnetoresistive sensors and SQUIDs to biosensors. The widely used velocity sensors, fiber-optic sensors, and chemical sensors. Variable CMOS oscillators and other digital and intelligent sensors. 68 worked-out examples and 103 end-of-chapter problems with annotated solutions. Author: Joel P.
