The temperature on earth varies over a wide range whereas man can
only work comfortably in a quite narrow temperature range that has
to be artificially maintained. In addition, many industries have
extensive requirements for temperature control. Thus control
engineers are called upon very frequently to design temperature
control loops. A general knowledge of control engineering is of
course useful in designing temperature control loops.However,
temperature control has some special features: (i) asymmetries
caused by the usually differing mechanisms of heating and cooling
(ii) complex nonlinear heat-transfer effects (iii) highly
application-dependent measurement problems. The intention of this
book is to treat the theory and practice of temperature measurement
and control, and important related topics such as energy management
and air pollution, at a level suitable for engineering and science
undergraduate and postgraduate students, and in a manner designed
to make the book valuable to practising engineers. There are no
specific prerequisites for the book although a knowledge of
elementary control theory could be useful. The philosophy of the
book is a compromise between fundamentals and practical guidelines.
It is the author's firm belief that it is highly desirable to
obtain a good insight into theoretical fundamentals (deeper than
can be justified on grounds of immediate utility) before embarking
on practical applications. The aim has been to produce a
practically oriented text within a firm theoretical outline. 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. There are chapters on heat sources,
commercially available controllers, temperature control in
buildings and energy conservation. The book ends with an appendix
that rapidly surveys the underpinning thermodynamic theory.
