Process Control Modules-w/cd

2110G-8 The MATLAB-based process control guide for all chemical engineering professionals Process control specialists have been leaders in recognizing the remarkable problem-solving power of MATLAB and similar tools. With this book, chemical engineering professionals and students each have a comprehensive, MATLAB-based lab manual for process control. Together, the 13 MATLAB/Simulink Process Control Modules presented in this book deliver a thorough introduction to real-world process control, built around two critical chemical engineering operations: binary distillation columns and furnaces. Using realistic process simulation models (not low-order linear approximations), readers will master all these key concepts and techniques: Steady state analysis and feedback control First-order and second-order dynamic system analysis Frequency domain and transient response analysis PID controller tuning, feedforward control, internal model control (IMC) and model predictive control (MPC) Discrete time system modeling and control The models are sufficiently complex to expose users to all the complexities of real-world process data, including nonlinearity, high order dynamics, and noisy measurements. Modules are arranged to provide detailed objectives, before-and-after exercises that highlight key issues, detailed step-by-step procedures, and clear summaries. Process Control Modules can serve as an ideal self-paced study guide, an excellent companion to a formal process control course, and a perfect review and refresher for practicing process engineers. CD-ROM INCLUDED CD-ROM includes all MATLAB/Simulink files used throughout the book.Doyle, F. J. is the author of 'Process Control Modules-w/cd' with ISBN 9780130211071 and ISBN 0130211079.
