Three other chapters, Units and Standards of Measurements, Electronic Measurements, and Automatic Process Control Systems and Controllers have been updated with the latest in the respective topics.
Extensive analysis of case studies has been incorporated so that Industrial Instrumentation and Control will act as a bridge between theory and practice.
New sections have been added on the uses of Transfer function, Differential equation and Laplace transform.
Topics and chapters have been reorganized to make it easier to follow the big picture as well.
Apart from these additions and updates, an extensive set of quizzes and self-review questions have been added at the end of each chapter.
