This book treats the theory and practice of temperature measurement and control and important related topics such as energy management and air pollution. There are no specific prerequisites for the book although a knowledge of elementary control theory could be useful. The first half of the book is an application oriented survey of temperature measurement techniques and devices. The second half is concerned mainly with temperature control in both simple and complex situations.

Chapter 1: Definitions of temperature and heat Chapter 2: Brief review of simple indicating thermometers for low-cost temperature measurement in the -30 Degrees C to +400 Degrees C range Chapter 3: Thermocouples Chapter 4: Resistance thermometers and thermistors Chapter 5: Radiation thermometry Chapter 6: New developments in temperature sensors Chapter 7: Commonly arising industrial temperature-measurement problems Chapter 8: Heat sourcesChapter 9: Heat sources: Non-combustion aspects Chapter 10: Temperature control – 1: On-off control Chapter 11: Temperature control – 2: Criteria and techniques for design of controllers for use with continuously variable actuators Chapter 12: Temperature control – 3: Control of spatial temperature distribution Chapter 13: Temperature control – 4: Some illustrative applications Chapter 14: Commercially available temperature controllers Chapter 15: Temperature control in buildings Chapter 16: Energy conservation Appendix: A review of some basic definitions and some thermodynamic fundamentals
