Process Dynamics and Control
Design Control Systems Using Modern Technologies and TechniquesProcess control has increased in importance in the process industries, driven by global competition, rapidly changing economic conditions, more stringent environmental and safety regulations, and the need for more flexible yet more complex processes to manufacture high value-added products.This long-awaited second edition of Dale Seborg, Thomas Edgar, and Duncan Mellichamp’sPROCESS DYNAMIC AND CONTROLreflects recent changes and advances in process control theory and technology. The authors have added new topics, and enhanced the presentation with a large number of new exercises and examples, many of which utilize MATLAB and Simulink.New and expanded topics includes:Mathematical modeling of chemical processesDeveloping dynamic models from process dataControl system designProcess safety and process controlEnhanced single-loop controlDigital controlMultiloop and multivariable controlReal-time optimizationModel predictive controlProcess monitoringBatch process controlPlantwide controlApplications to semiconductor manufacturing and bioprocessingControl hardware and software
