This text is a lucid presentation of the operating principles of all types of sensors and transducers that form the main components of instrumentation systems. The characteristics of the sensors and transducers and the operating principles of transducer technologies have been discussed in great detail. In addition to covering conventional sensors such as electromechanical, thermal, magnetic, radiative and electro-analytical, the recent advances in sensor technologies, including intelligent and intelligent sensors used in automated systems, are also widely described. The application aspects of sensors used in various fields, such as automobiles, manufacturing, medicine and the environment are fully illustrated. With a simple focus, the text aims to build a solid understanding of the fundamentals, and instill the analytical skills necessary for design and operation. Numerous schematic representations, examples, and review questions help to transcend basic concepts underlying automation and instrumentation. The book with incisive explanations and all pedagogical attributes is designed to meet the needs of engineering students in disciplines of instrumentation, chemistry, mechanics and electrical. It will also be a useful text for students of applied sciences.
