A new edition of the performance guide for chemical engineering process control illustrating control technology principles for industrial fluid processes from basic theory to advanced applications. The reference uses time-domain and relative-gain analysis, showing engineers how to solve common problems and apply system solutions with a minimum of mathematics. This new edition features updated information on inventory control, internal model and model predictive control, closed-loop responses for distributed-lag processes, and process design guidelines for pH control. Includes over 250 simulations, line drawings, graphs, and response curves. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
