Process systems analysis and control

''Process Systems Analysis and Control, Third Edition retains the clarity of presentation for which this book is well known. It is an ideal teaching and learning tool for a semester-long undergraduate chemical engineering course in process dynamics and control. It avoids the encyclopedic approach of many other texts on this topic. Computer examples using MATLAB and Simulink have been introduced throughout the book to supplement and enhance standard hand-solved examples. These packages allow the easy construction of block diagrams and quick analysis of control concepts to enable the student to explore ''what-if'' type problems that would be much more difficult and time consuming by hand. New homework problems have been added to each chapter. The new problems are a mixture of hand-solutions and computational-exercises. One-page capsule summaries have been added to the end of each chapter to help students review and study the most important concepts in each chapter.''--BOOK JACKET. Read more... Content: Ch. 1.

Process Systems Analysis and Control, third edition retains the clarity of presentation for which this book is well known. It is an ideal teaching and learning tool for a semester-long undergraduate chemical engineering course in process dynamics and control. It avoids the encyclopedic approach of many other texts on this topic. Computer examples using MATLAB® and Simulink® have been introduced throughout the book to supplement and enhance standard hand-solved examples. These packages allow the easy construction of block diagrams and quick analysis of control concepts to enable the student to explore what-if type problems that would be much more difficult and time consuming by hand.
