Essential Process Control for Chemical Engineers
English | 2017 | ISBN: 978-87-403-1655-1 | 286 pages | EPUB | 5.47 MB
This book covers almost all of the process control material required to meet the IChemE's recommended syllabus for a general career in chemical engineering. The first section is on instrumentation, including control valves and plant communications. Several chapters then descibe P&I diagrams, the concept of feedback control and introduce the main types of simple dynamic response that can be seen in chemical plant. The next section of the book is concerned with analysis and covers dynamic modelling, the PID algorithm, control system analysis and controller tuning. The last three chapters look at more advanced single loop control, control system design and control system architecture. The book is based on class notes that have been developed over the past four years and has benefited from lots of useful student feedback.
