what are the commands to find out fan speed and cpu temp in linux (I know lm-sensor can do the task). is there any alternative for that?

Why do you want an alternative to lm-sensors? (And as far as I know, there is none, though the code is open source, so you can write your own alternative if you really need to, for whatever reason).

For CPU temperature:
On Debian:
sudo apt-get install lm-sensors
On Centos:
sudo yum install lm_sensors
Run using:
sudo sensors-detect
Type sensors to get CPU temp.
For fan speed:
sensors | grep fan
This will output fan speed
or install psensor using:
sudo apt-get install psensor
One can also use hardinfo
sudo apt-get install hardinfo

The sensors have to be detected first by running sensors-detect after installation (interactive terminal script, just pres Enter on questions and all have to be done automagically). This is needed on CentOS, on Debian configure/reconfigure is fired after install or dpkg-reconfigure psensor).

If you would like to try a different option, you can try s-tui, a software we were working on. It is a terminal UI app, so running it over SSH is also possible.
It displays CPU temperature, utilization, frequency and power.
Fan speed was also added.
Installation methods are explained on the GitHub Readme.

I have used ipmitool from GitHub and freeipmi on my servers, but, well, they're servers, with BMC hardware which supports IPMI. If your PC does, it's a reasonable solution.
I run a script which pulls SDR data on the machine in test (example lines follow)
ti=$(date +%H:%M:%S)
pt=$(ipmitool -I open sdr | grep 'PS1 Temp')
and sends it to the screen as well as to logfile then idles w/ ping for 15 seconds
echo "$ti|$pt" && echo "$ti|$pt" >> logfile && ping -w 15 127.0.0.1 > nul
before looping around again for another pass.

I have used ipmitool from GitHub and freeipmi on my servers, but, well, they're servers, with BMC hardware which supports IPMI. If your PC does, it's a reasonable solution.
I run a script which pulls SDR data on the machine in test (example lines follow)
ti=$(date +%H:%M:%S)
pt=$(ipmitool -I open sdr | grep 'PS1 Temp')
and sends it to the screen as well as to logfile then idles w/ ping for 15 seconds
echo "$ti|$pt" && echo "$ti|$pt" >> logfile && ping -w 15 127.0.0.1 > nul
before looping around again for another pass.
