State the working principle of ‘RVDT’.

RVDT stands for Rotary Variable Differential Transformer, which works on the principle of electromagnetic induction to measure angular displacement.

Enlist types of flow meters.

Some types of flow meters include electromagnetic flow meters, turbine flow meters, and ultrasonic flow meters.

Explain the working of ‘Hot Wire Anemometer'.

A Hot Wire Anemometer works on the principle of convective heat transfer. The wire in the anemometer is heated, and the cooling effect of the air flow is used to measure the velocity of the air.

Explain term ‘Drift’ and ‘Sensitivity’.

In instrumentation, 'Drift' refers to a gradual change in output over time, while 'Sensitivity' is the ability of a sensor or instrument to detect small changes in input. Signup and view all the answers
