This third edition provides chemical engineers with process control techniques that are used in practice while offering detailed mathematical analysis. Numerous examples and simulations are used to illustrate key theoretical concepts. New exercises are integrated throughout several chapters to reinforce concepts. Up-to-date information is also included on real-time optimization and model predictive control to highlight the significant impact these techniques have on industrial practice. And chemical engineers will find two new chapters on biosystems control to gain the latest perspective in the field.
I read (parts of) chapters 1/2/3/4/5/6/8/11/12/15 for the TU Delft master course Process Dynamics & Control, it was helpful but also a bit hard to understand and confusing duo to different notations.
Waste of time since you can program PLC and DCS systems without the triple integration. let the computers do the work. just learn the fundamentals of gains, dead bands, limits and such. leave the book to collect dust on the shelf.
