Absolute pressure is pressure measured relative to a perfect vacuum, an absolute 2ero of pressure (2). Like the absolute 2ero of temperature, perfect vacuum is never reali2ed in a real world system but provides a convenient reference for pressure measurement. The acceptance of strain gauge technology in the fabrication of pressure sensors is resulting in the increased use of absolute pressure measurement in the CPI (see Sensors). The pressure reference... 

In contrast, various sensors are expected to respond in a predictable and controlled manner to such diverse parameters as temperature, pressure, velocity or acceleration of an object, intensity or wavelength of light or sound, rate of flow, density, viscosity, elasticity, and, perhaps most problematic, the concentration of any of millions of different chemical species. Furthermore, a sensor that responds selectively to only a single one of these parameters is often the goal, but the first attempt typically produces a device that responds to several of the other parameters as well. Interferences are the bane of sensors, which are often expected to function under, and be immune to, extremely difficult environmental conditions. 

There are many types of sen.sors used to feed-back the process operating conditions to the switching logistics of an inverter unit. They can be in terms of temperature, pressure, volume, flow, time or any activity on which depends the accuracy and quality of the process. Direct sensing devices used commonly for the control of a drive and used frequently in the following text are speed. sensors, as noted below. 

Turbomaehinery operating pressures, temperatures, and speeds are very important parameters. Obtaining aeeurate pressures and temperatures will depend not only on the type and quality of the transdueers seleeted, but also on their loeation in the gas path of the maehine. These faetors should be earefully evaluated. The aeeuraey of pressure and temperature measurements required will depend on the analysis and diagnosties that need to be performed. Table 19-2 presents some eriteria for seleetion of aerothermai instrumentation of pressure and temperature sensors for measurement of eompressor effieieney. Note that the pereentage aeeuraey requirements are more eritieal for temperature sensors than pressure sensors. The requirements are also dependent on the eompressor pressure ratio.

Both electronic and microcomputer-based controls require information about the state of the controlled system. Sensors convert different physical variables into an electric signal that is conditioned and typically converted to a digital signal to be used in microcontrollers. The trend in the construction techniques of modern sensors is the use of silicon microstrnctures because of the good performance and the low cost of this type of device. In the energy control scope the main quantities to be measured are the temperature, pressure, flow, light intensity, humidity (RH), and the electric quantities of voltage and current. 

Intelligent transmitters have two major components (1) a sensor module which comprises the process connections and sensor assembly, and (2) a two-compartment electronics housing with a terminal block and an electronics module that contains signal conditioning circuits and a microprocessor. Figure 6.9 illustrates how the primary output signal is compensated for errors caused in pressure-sensor temperature. An internal sensor measures the temperature of the pressure sensor. This measurement is fed into the microprocessor where the primary measurement signal is appropriately corrected. This temperature measurement is also transmitted to receivers over the communications network. 

Because of the wide range of the sensors, only four different sensor units are needed to cover the entire range of dp spans from 100 kN/m2 to 20 MN/m2 (4 in water to 3000 lb/in2) An internal temperature sensor monitors the temperature of the pressure sensor and is used to compensate the sensor output for the effects of temperature changes. The sensor temperature may also be transmitted digitally for monitoring, alarming, and for other appropriate applications. 

Pressure drops have been measured in a Corning glass H EX reactor with pressure sensors located on reactive and utiHty Hnes and estimated for different fluids (water, glucose solutions) at various flow rates, from 2 to 101 h, and various temperature levels (from 20 to 50°C). The results are presented in Figure 12.6.

The reactor pressure is reduced to 0 psig to flash off any remaining water after a desired temperature is reached. Simultaneous ramp up of the heat source to a new setpoint is also carried out. The duration spent at this second setpoint is monitored using CUSUM plots to ensure the batch reaches a desired final reactor temperature within the prescribed batch time. The heat source subsequently is removed and the material is allowed to continue reacting until the final desired temperature is reached. The last stage involves the removal of the finished polymer as evidenced by the rise in the reactor pressure. Each reactor is equipped with sensors that measure the relevant temperature, pressure, and the heat source variable values. These sensors are interfaced to a distributed control system that monitors and controls the processing steps. 

Many of those working on optical sensors have been overoptimistic. While many chemical sensors and biosensor have found applications in the laboratory and in research, they are much less often applied than physical sensors, e.g. those for temperature, pressure, velocity, or strain. This may be due to several factors, of which the following are considered to be most significant ...
