Essentials of Process Control - Tapa blanda

The purpose of this book is to convey to undergraduate students an understanding of those areas of process control that all chemical engineers need to know. The methods presented have all been applied in industry to solve real problems and there is an analysis of closed loop dynamics in the time, laplace, frequency and sample-date domains. Designing simple regulators and control systems for multivariable processes is also discussed in detail, along with the practical aspects of process control such as sizing control valves, tuning controllers, developing control structures and considering interaction between plant design and control. Real industry control examples and problems are used and many problems are presented using MATLAB as a computer-aided analysis tool.
