| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The purpose of this book is to review the principles of those methods of measurement employed in industrial processing and manufacturing. Primary emphasis is given to the method rather than to the mechanism. Attention is paid however to important practical details. In most cases it has been deemed necessary to review the fundamentals of physics (mechanics thermodynamics and electricity) pertaining to the problems of measurement. This serves two purposes, first it focuses attention on the fundamentals of engineering applications and second it induces a more analytical and less empirical approach to the problems of measurement. The book is intended primarily for the undergraduate in engineering. With the exception of a few sections containing differential equations it is assumed that the student is familiar with the elements of calculus, mechanics, thermodynamics and fluid mechanics, beyond elementary courses in physics. The problems are mainly elementary. |
