Description
New Age International (P) Ltd., Publishers Textbook Of Measurements And Instrumentation (Aicte ) by Dr. Jasbir Singh Saini
The first of its kind as per AICTE Model Curriculum and carrying a full section on Experiments, this book is written with a passion to reach out to students with a material so well received by thousands of students in live classes at various state and national Institutes. Man is blessed with enormous sensing abilities; he can gather a huge variety of data and yet is limited when it comes to expressing data in numeric or quantifiable form. Man excels at expressing and handling data in fuzzy / vague form (e.g., level in tank is ‘rising rapidly’, vehicle is ‘approaching fast’, etc.). In this context, measurement techniques and instruments augment the human capability, as they capture and express data in numeric form.
Written in crisp but simple language, the book goes down to the level of students. For sake of clarity, sufficient detail is poured in where needed, e.g., intermediate steps in mathematical derivations are well explained for ease of understanding. Each chapter begins with basic motivation of studying the contents in that chapter. In line with ongoing examination reforms in engg. education, the book has salient strengths as:
Key Features:
Hierarchically structured and well–classified material to aid correct perspectives, understanding & retention.
Sufficient solved and unsolved numerical problems (with hints provided where needed) to reinforce understanding and to usher the reader towards design thinking.
Numerous Objective Type MCQs (with Key provided) to take students closer to success in different exams. and interviews.
Step by step procedure for drawing Phasors Diagram for A.C. Bridges.
Theory integrates with Practice with a complete Section on Experiments.
Fairly exhaustive set of precautions to sensitize students against dangerous situations as arise in Electrical Labs.
Guidelines for Writing and Editing Laboratory. Reports to help Lab. teacher to deal en masse with several errors in Lab. reports (rather than point out in each report) and simultaneously supervise a Lab. session.
Pre–experimental quiz to usher students into experimentation space and to equip them with curiosity and background to effectively perform experiments.
Post–experimental quiz to deepen the understanding and reinforce the learnt concepts.
Sufficient background provided in Theory section of each experiment to enable students perform experiment even as theory class de–synchronized to provide the same.
This text book shall not only be indispensable to engg. students for Measurement and Instrumentation courses (both Theory and Practical), but also shall immensely help them prepare for AMIE, IES, GATE & other competitive exams.
