A state-of-the-art study of computerized control of chemical processes used in industry, this book is for chemical engineering and industrial chemistry students involved in learning the micro-macro design of chemical process systems.
Covers all aspects of chemical process control and provides a clear and complete overview of the design and hardware elements needed for practical implementation.
MATHEMATICAL MODELS FOR FLOW PROCESSES; REGULATION THEORY; FLOW, PRESSURE, AND LIQUID LEVEL; HEAT TRANSFER PROCESSES; MASS TRANSFER PROCESSES: DISTILATION; MODAL ANALYSIS; REACTIONS.
This third edition provides chemical engineers with process control techniques that are used in practice while offering detailed mathematical analysis. Numerous examples and simulations are used to illustrate key theoretical concepts. New exercises are integrated throughout several chapters to reinforce concepts. Up-to-date information is also included on real-time optimization and model predictive control to highlight the significant impact these techniques have on industrial practice. And chemical engineers will find two new chapters on biosystems control to gain the latest perspective in the field.
A hands-on teaching and reference text for chemical engineers In writing this book the authors' have focused exclusively on the vast majority of chemical engineering students who need a basic understanding of practical process control for their industrial careers. Traditionally process control has been taught using non-intuitive and highly mathematical techniques (Laplace and frequency-domain techniques). Aside from being difficult to master in a one-semester course, the traditional approach is of limited use for more complex process control problems encountered in the chemical processing industries. When designing and analyzing multi-loop control systems today, industry practitioners employ...
Automated Continuous Process Control pulls together–in one compact and practical volume–the essentials for understanding, designing, and operating process control systems. This comprehensive guide covers the major elements of process control in a well-defined and ordered framework. Concepts are clearly presented, with minimal reliance on mathematical equations and strong emphasis on practical, real-life examples. Beginning with the very basics of process control, Automated Continuous Process Control builds upon each chapter to help the reader understand and efficiently practice industrial process control. This complete presentation includes: A discussion of processes from a physical poin...
