Fundamentals of Industrial Instrumentation (Second Edition)

This textbook provides a fundamental background in the theory of Industrial Instrumentation and establishes the physical principles and practical techniques used to measure those quantities most important for Instrumentation applications. Formulas and equations for sensors are derived from first principle.

Enhanced with additional problems and solutions this book is essential reading for students needing a complete overview of the physical principles and practical techniques used to measure industrial process parameters and how they are applied together with powerful computational methods in an ever-evolving industry. Two sets of objective questions and keys are also provided. This comprehensive text will provide students and recent graduates with the knowledge to design and build measurement systems for industrial processes.

Key Features:

• Learning objectives are provided at the beginning of each chapter
• Includes problems and objective questions, all with solutions and keys
• All equations are derived from first principles
• All the sensors and signal processing circuits are shown and explained with the help of diagrams or illustrations
• Inclusion of Artificial Intelligence and new computational techniques impacting on the industry
