This second edition is an enlarged version of the web course developed by the author at IIT Madras, and also a modified and augmented version of the earlier book.  Major additions\/modifications presented are in the treatment of errors in measurement, temperature measurement, measurement of thermo-physical properties, and data manipulation. Many new worked examples have been introduced in this new and updated second edition. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNomenclature xiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eContents xix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eI Measurements, Error Analysis and Design of Experiments\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e1 Measurements and Errors in measurement 3\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.1 Introduction 4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.2 Errors in measurement 6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.3 Statistical analysis of experimental data 8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.4 Propagation of errors 40\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.5 Specifications of instruments and their performance 44\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e2 Regression analysis 47\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.1 Introduction to regression analysis 48\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.2 Linear regression 49\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.3 Polynomial regression 54\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.4 General non-linear fit 60\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.5 χ2 test of goodness of fit 62\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.6 General discussion on regression analysis including special cases 66\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 Design of experiments 73\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.1 Design of experiments 74\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExercise I 89\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eI.1 Errors and error distributions 89\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eI.2 Propagation of errors 92\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eI.3 Regression analysis 94\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eI.4 Design of experiments 99\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eII Measurements of Temperature, Heat Flux and Heat Transfer Coefficient\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e4 Measurements of Temperature 103\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.1 Introduction 104\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.2 Thermometry or the science and art of temperature measurement 104\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.3 Thermoelectric thermometry 110\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.4 Resistance thermometry 131\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.5 Pyrometry 149\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.6 Other temperature measurement techniques . 162\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.7 Measurement of transient temperature . 171\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e5 Systematic errors in temperature measurement 183\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5.1 Introduction 183\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5.2 Examples of temperature measurement 183\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5.3 Conduction error in thermocouple temperature measurement 186\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5.4 Measurement of temperature of a moving fluid 194\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e6 Heat flux and Heat Transfer Coefficient 205\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6.1 Measurement of heat flux 205\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6.2 Measurement of heat transfer coefficient 223\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExercise II 229\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eII.1 Temperature measurement 229\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eII.2 Transient temperature measurement 235\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eII.3 Thermometric error 237\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eII.4 Heat flux measurement 239\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIII Measurement of Pressure, Fluid velocity, Volume flow rate, Stagnation and Bulk mean temperatures\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e7 Measurement of Pressure 243\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7.1 Basics of pressure measurement 244\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7.2 U -
