Chemical Process Control : An Introduction To Theory And Practice (English) 1st Edition(Paperback)

Covering all aspects of chemical process control, this thorough overview explores process modelling, dynamic analysis of processing systems, a large variety of control schemes, synthesis of multivariable control configurations for single units and complete chemical plants, and analysis and design of digital computer control systems. Emphasis is on problem formulation, analysis of posed control problems, and the synthesis and evaluation of alternative control systems.The book discusses both controller design concepts and hardware elements needed for practical implementation of various control schemes. It also provides a concise outline of the control systems found in chemical processes and describes the design of control systems for multivariable processes and complete chemical plants.A large number of examples, end-of-chapter questions, and problems are included.
