Intended for undergraduates, this text covers those area of process control that all chemical engineers need to know. Analysis of closed loop dynamics in the time, Laplace, frequency and sample-data domains are covered. Designing simple regulatory control systems for multivariable processes are also discussed. The practical aspects of process control are presented: sizing control valves, tuning controllers, developing control structures and considering interaction between plant design and control. The book includes many real industrial control examples and problems.
