COURSE OBJECTIVES
1 To Identify measurement parameters and analyze errors of measurements.
2 To Select and apply suitable transducer for a particular measurement.
3 To identify measurement parameters and select the appropriate sensor for it.
4 To Explain the working of various types of control systems of apply for specific applications.
5 To apply the principle of automatic control systems to control various parameter(s).
UNIT – I MEASUREMENTS AND ERROR ANALYSIS
General concepts – Units and standards – Measuring instruments –sensitivity, readability, range, accuracy, precision – static and dynamic response – repeatability hysteresis – systematic and random errors –Statistical analysis of experimental data – Regression analysis – Curve fitting – calibration and Uncertainty.
UNIT – II INSTRUMENTS
Transducer, modifying (intermediate) and Terminal stages – Mechanical and electrical transducers, preamplifiers – charge amplifiers – filters – attenuators – D’ Arsonval – CRO – Oscillographs – recorders – microprocessorbased data logging, processing and output
UNIT – III PARAMETERS FOR MEASUREMENT
Dimension, displacement, velocity, acceleration, Impact – Force, torque, power- Pressure, Temperature, Heat Flux,
Heat Transfer Coefficients, Humidity – Flow – Velocity – Time, frequency and phase angle – noise and sound level.
UNIT – IV CONTROL SYSTEMS
Basic elements – feedback principle, implication of measurements – Error detectors – final actuating elements – Two position, multi-position, floating, proportional controls – relays – servo amplifiers – servo motors – Electrical,
magnetic, electronic control systems
UNIT – V APPLICATION OF CONTROL SYSTEMS
Governing of speed, kinetic and process control – pressure, temperature, fluid level, flow-thrust and flight control –
photo electric controls – designing of measurement and control systems for different applications
