Process Dynamics and Control  (English, Paperback, Seborg Dale)

Process Dynamics And Control 2 Edition records the changes and advancements made in the field of process controls.

Summary Of The Book

Process Control is the field of engineering and statistics dealing with mechanisms, algorithms and architectures for maintenance of the output of a given process within a given range. It is used mostly in industries for mass production of processes like paper manufacturing, oil refining, power plants, chemicals etc. It helps in automation of these processes and thus saving in personnel costs.

The improved edition of the book contains new chapters on biosystem controls and better presentation through more examples and exercises using MATLAB and Simulink. It has detailed analysis and simulations for illustrating main theoretical concepts as also up-to-date information on model predictive controls and real time optimization stressing their role in industry.

Process Dynamics And Control 2 Edition is divided into four parts. The first part contains an introduction to process controls and models on chemical processes. The second part is on behavior of processes and has chapters on topics like Laplace Transforms, Space State Models, Transfer Function, Developing Empirical Models and Dynamic Response Characteristics of Complex Processes etc. Another part is about Advanced Forms Of Process Controls. It has detailed information on single loop control strategies, multi loop control, Digital sampling, multi-variable control, digital control, and concept and designing of Plantwide control system.

The book was published in 2006 by Wiley Publishers.
