Design and Application of Process Control Systems (Independent Learning Module from the Instrument Society of America.)

This book teaches you the principles which underline the response of the process in industrial control systems. It was written for instrumentation and control engineers and technicians who, already familiar with the principles and hardware of industrial instrumentation and control systems, want to learn more about the industrial processes they control and operate. This book will also be helpful to students who wish to gain insight into chemical process principles as they relate to the design and application of automatic control systems. Contents: Review of Process Control Strategies Material Balance, Energy Balances liquid Flow Systems Compressible Flow System Heat Transfer Systems Distillation Operations Other Separation Processes and Chemical Reactors.
