This book provides a comprehensive view of what is needed to take
advantage of the latest developments in smart and wireless
temperature measurements and control strategies. A fundamental
understanding of the capabilities of temperature sensors and the
advances in wireless technology are provided. The effect of sensor
types and installation on measurement accuracy and speed is
detailed. Guidance is provided for making the commonly faced choice
between thermocouples versus resistance temperature detectors. The
temperature control requirements for various types of equipment are
discussed. Control systems to meet specific objectives are
provided. The appendices provide solutions to the exercises, data
important for heat transfer, a unification of controller tuning
methods, and equations to estimate process dynamics.
