Instrumental Assessment of Food Sensory Quality: A Practical Guide (Woodhead Publishing Series in Food Science, Technology and Nutrition Book 253)

Description

is a technician-level approach to instrumentation and control techniques used in advanced manufacturing. The book is divided into two parts: Part 1, Instrumentation (Chapters 1 to 28) and Part 2, Process Control (Chapters 29 to 52). The content is organized in a logical sequence beginning with an introduction to the ?eld of instrumentation and continuing through all the elements of a control system.
This edition offers the following instructional advantages:
Systems approach to integrating instruments into a complex system
Comprehensive applications for instruments and controllers in typical industrial control systems
Examples that show how to install instruments and protect them from damaging environmental conditions
