About this title

Synopsis

A supplement to ANY texts for one-semester, undergraduate-level courses in Process Control.Designed to provide students with a realistic process simulation and control design environment--without pulling in a full-scale industrial distributed control system (DCS)--this text features a set of MATLAB/Simulink scripts that can be used as the basis of a computer laboratory in process control. The structured instructions and exercises--which are sufficient to cover approximately twelve 2-hour computer lab sessions--center around two key chemical engineering unit operations: a binary distillation column and a heated tube furnace. The complexity of the underlying simulation models ensures that students will be exposed to all the complexities of actual process data, including nonlinearity, high order dynamics, and noisy measurements.

About the Author

FRANCIS J. DOYLE III is Associate Professor at the Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Delaware, Newark, DE. He holds a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the California Institute of Technology, and has been a process modeling and control consultant for leading companies such as DuPont and Weyerhaeuser. His research interests include biosystems analysis and control; nonlinear approaches to process identification and model-based control; characterization of process nonlinearity for control-relevant design; and advanced control schemes for nonlinear, multivariable, constrained industrial processes.
