Synopsis

This text offers a broad range of experimental measurement techniques for mechanical and general engineering applications. The author emphasizes the use of uncertainty analysis and statistical data analysis in the estimation of the accuracy of measurements and has included a separate chapter on report writing and presentations with descriptions of proper technique for graphical, tabular and nomenclature organization. This edition contains enhanced secitons on statistical data analysis and over 100 worked examples and 500 end-of-chapter problems.

About this title

From the Publisher

New! A new chapter, "Design of Experiments," integrates the discussions of the text to offer an overall protocol for experiment design. Instead of focusing on "statistical design," the author presents a more general and comprehensive consideration of time restraints and presentation requirements. The chapter contains check list tables for a design "protocol" as well as five diverse case study examples to illustrate the use of protocol with examples ranging from convection coefficient determination to a "legal fire."
New! 10% more problems and the Instructors Solutions Manual will be typeset for the first time.
New! Updated and expanded treatment of data analysis and report writing details methods for displaying graphics, and use of trendlines and correlations.
Maintaining its thorough coverage of thermal-fluid measurement techniques, the text continues to emphasize experimental uncertainties as essential elements in experiment design, execution, and instrument selection.
