Process Control and Instrumentation Syllabus for B.Tech 6th sem is covered here. This gives the details about credits, number of hours and other details along with reference books for the course.
The detailed syllabus for Process Control and Instrumentation B.Tech (R13) sixth is as follows
OBJECTIVE:
To enable the students to learn the basic concepts of instrumentation and control systems covering measurement of temperature, pressure, flow and level. To understand process control systems with related examples
UNIT I : GENERAL CONCEPTS OF MEASUREMENTS [9 Hours]
Variables and their measurements signals, the three stages of generalized measurement system, some common terms used in the measurement systems, mechanical loading, impedance matching, frequency response. Factors considered in selection of instruments – error analysis and classification, source of error. Transducer: classification, displacement & velocity transducers, potentiometer, LVDT, variable reluctance transducers, capacitive transducers, tachometer. Types of electric strain gauges – strain gauge bridges. Calibration of strain gauges
UNIT II : TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT [9 Hours]
Platinum resistance thermometers, thermistors, thermocouple, total radiation pyrometers, optical pyrometer, temperature measuring problems in flowing fluids. Pressure measurement: Manometers, Elastic transducers, elastic diaphragm transducers, McLeod gauge, thermal conductivity gauges, calibration of pressure gauge using dead weight tester, dynamic characteristics of pressure measuring systems.
UNIT III : FLOW & MISCELLANEOUS MEASUREMENTS [9 Hours]
Venturi, Orifice & nozzle meters, Pitot tube, turbine type meters, hot wire anemometer, magnetic flow meters. Level measurement: float level meters & electrical conductivity meters.
TOTAL : 45 PERIODS
OUTCOMES: Upon completing this course, the students
- Will acquire the knowledge in instruments for measurements
