Chemical Sensors, Vol 1: General Approaches (Sensor Technology) [精裝]

內容簡介

Sensors are the eyes, ears, and more, of the modern engineered product or system--including the living human organism. This authoritative reference work, part of Momentum Press's new Sensor Technology series, edited by Joe Watson, will offer a complete review of all sensors and their associated instrumentation systems now commonly used in modern medicine. Readers will find invaluable data and guidance on a wide variety of sensors used in biomedical applications, from fluid flow sensors, to pressure sensors, to chemical analysis sensors. New developments in bio-materials-based sensors that mimic natural bio-systems will be covered as well. Also featured will be ample references throughout, along with a useful Glossary and symbols list, as well as convenient conversion tables. Chemical sensors are integral to the automation of myriad industrial processes, as well as everyday monitoring of such activities as public safety, engine performance, medical therapeutics, and many more. This massive reference work will cover all major categories of sensor types and their general functional usage...from monitoring and analyzing gases, to analyzing liquids and compounds of all kinds. This will become THE reference work on sensors used for chemical detection and analysis.
