Chemical Process Control - An Introduction to Theory and Practice

Chemical Process Control: An Introduction to Theory and Practice
By George Stephanopoulos

Chemical Process Control by George Stephanopoulos is a thorough introductory text covering all aspects of chemical process control, including process modeling, dynamic analyses of processing systems, a large variety of control schemes, synthesis of multivariable control configurations for single units and complete chemical plants, and the analysis and design of digital computer control systems. Intended to cover the needs of a first undergraduate course in process dynamics and control, as well as the first part of an advanced undergraduate or graduate course in process control, the book provides a clear and complete overview of the design and hardware elements needed for practical implementation.

Topics commonly covered include:

• The control of a chemical process: characteristics and associated problems
• Process modeling and mathematical representation of chemical processes
• Dynamic behavior of chemical processing systems
• Laplace transforms and input-output models
• Feedback control and stability analysis
• Frequency response and Bode/Nyquist plots
• Root locus analysis
• Feedforward and inferential control
• Multivariable control configurations
• Digital computer control systems

Key features:

• Comprehensive coverage of process modeling through practical control system design
• Clear explanations supported by numerous illustrations and worked examples
• Covers control schemes for both single processing units and complete chemical plants
• Well-established reference used across chemical engineering programs worldwide
• Structured to build foundational knowledge before progressing to advanced control topics
• Part of the Prentice-Hall International Series in the Physical and Chemical Engineering Sciences

Perfect for:

• Chemical engineering students
• B.E./B.Tech students studying process dynamics and control
• Graduate students specializing in process control
• Faculty teaching chemical process control courses
• Practicing chemical engineers seeking a foundational reference
