The Sensors and Transducers Course divided into 5 units:
In Unit I we will discuss about Measurements, Errors, Sensor, Transducer and its Classification.
In Unit II we will discuss about Characteristics of Transducers, Static & Dynamic
In Unit III, IV, V we will discuss about Resistive Transducers, Inductive and Capacitive Transducer, Miscellaneous Transducers
Course Objectives:
To enable the students to select and design suitable instruments to meet the requirements of industrial applications and various transducers used for the measurement of various physical quantities and the following:
- Various types of Sensors & Transducers and their working principle
- Resistive, Capacitive and Inductive transducers
- Some of the miscellaneous transducers
- Characteristics of transducers
Course Outcomes:
- Student will be able to Distinguish, analyse different types of errors.
- Students will be able to apply transforms to obtain the characteristics of transducers.
- Students will be able to analyse the working principles of sensors and transducers.
- Students will be able to select and design suitable instruments to meet the requirements of industrial applications and various transducers used for the measurement of various physical quantities
