Answer / asad haider

A sensor is a device that, as its name signifies, measures a physical quantity and then converts it into signals that can be read by the user or by any other instrument. Transducer, on the other hand is a physical device (Electrical, electro-mechanical, electromagnetic, photonic or photovoltaic) that converts either one type of energy into another or a physical attribute into another for the purposes of measurement or transfer of information.

Answer / saurabh singh

Transducers is a system and sensors is a part of
transducers. both are a sensing device only.

Answer / jagan p

Sensor senses the measured quantity and convert into a
signal whereas transducer converts one form of energy into
another.All Sensors can be a transducers but all transducer
can't be a sensors.Transducer needs a sensor to display the
output.

Answer / ravi

sensor output is always electric output. but transducer
output will not be a electric output always. all sensors
are transducers, but all transducers are not sensor. its
simple

Answer / ramakrishnan

The device which converts one form of energy into another
form or same form is known as SENSOR.TRANSDUER is the device
which converts the one form of energy into transconduction
form (should be electrical).
All transducers are sensors but all sensors are not transducers

Calculate the maximum pressure drop that can be allowed to occur across a control valve, so that we can prevent cavitation / flashing from occurring. Use the following formula: Δ P allow = Km (P1 – PvapourA) where, Δ P allow - the maximum allowable differential pressure for sizing purposes, or terminal pressure drop; Km- the valve recovery coefficient from the manufacturer’s catalogue; P1 - absolute inlet fluid pressure; PvapourA - absolute fluid vapour pressure at the inlet temperature; Use Atmospheric pressure = 101.3 kPa, P1 = 1200 kPa(g), PvapourA = 4 kPa, KM = 0.72
