Instruments for Solar Radiation Measurement
The primary instruments used to measure solar radiation include the Pyranometer, Pyrheliometer, and Sunshine Recorder.
- Pyranometer: Measures both global and diffuse radiation. It utilizes a thermopile sensor with a black coating; absorbed solar heat creates a temperature difference, generating a voltage proportional to the radiation.
- Pyrheliometer: Measures direct beam radiation exclusively. It features a long collimator tube to ensure only direct sunlight
Essential Production and Operations Management Techniques
1. Total Quality Management (TQM) Tools
TQM is a management approach focused on long-term success through customer satisfaction. The “tools” refer to the statistical techniques used to identify and fix quality issues. The 7 Basic Quality Tools are:

|---|---|---|
