Real-Time Approach to Process Control 2e

by William Y. Svrcek, Donald P. Mahoney (Contributor), Brent R. Young (Contributor)

A Real- Time Approach to Process Control provides the reader with both a theoretical and practical introduction to this increasingly important approach. Assuming no prior knowledge of the subject, this text introduces all of the applied fundamentals of process control from instrumentation to process dynamics, PID loops and tuning, to distillation, multi-loop and plant-wide control. In addition, readers come away with a working knowledge of the three most popular dynamic simulation packages. The text carefully balances theory and practice by offering readings and lecture materials along with hands-on workshops that provide a 'virtual' process on which to experiment and from which to learn modern, real time control strategy development. As well as a general updating of the book specific changes

Very good introductory book to process control, refreshed my mind on topics that were skimmed over during my course at uni. After reading this I am now confident in reading more complex books.
