UNIT I	MEASUREMENTS AND ERROR ANALYSIS	9

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	9

Transducer, modifying (intermediate) and Terminal stages – Mechanical and electrical transducers, preamplifiers – charge amplifiers – filters – attenuators – D’ Arsonval – CRO – Oscillographs – recorders – microprocessor- based data logging, processing and output

UNIT III	PARAMETERS FOR MEASUREMENT	9

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	9

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	9

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
