Instrumentation Operation, Measurement, Scope and Application of Instruments

This book ‘Instrumentation Operation, Measurement, Scope and Application of Instruments’ provides various concepts, both theoretical and practical knowledge and develops the techno-managerial skill in the field of Instrumentation. Various possible methods of measurements of commonly used instruments for measuring various quantities often applied in engineering and design are provided, presented and discussed sufficiently from fundamentals to advancements. It aims at providing an insight into various concepts and awareness as well as developments of the field. Numerical problems and day-to-day examples, practical situations that occur in industries & daily life are presented wherever necessary. Altogether, it covers the journey around the ‘world’ of ‘Instrumentation’.The special features in this book areThe prerequisites are given under STARTERS at the beginning of each chapterEntire chapter is given under “Chapter Infographic-”, in a single page for a quick revision before an examination or a seminar/presentationVisualization of concepts through INFOGRAPHICSThe self assessment questionnaire at every topic under the head ‘SELF ASSESSMENT QUESTIONNAIRE (SAQ)’.Concept based, content based and numerical oriented questions with sufficient number of ILLUSTRATIONSInteresting ‘MILES’, The “More Instruments for Learning Engineers” of this field which are not covered in the regular syllabus, but noteworthy, particularly for who prepare for interviews.The latest developments under ‘Do you know?’ and some TIPS to rememberThe chapter SUMMARY and KEYWORDS are given at the end of each chapter for revising what is studied.Coverage of ALL THE TOPICS of InstrumentationChapter end REVIEW questions (Both LONG Answer type and SHORT Answer type)Lucid presentation and simple languageSmaller chapters with practical examples and comparisons wherever required.Objective type questions for the INTERVIEWS and COMPETITIVE EXAMS such as GATE
