Essentials of Process Control

Michael L. Luyben, William L. Luyben0070391726, 9780070391727

This text contains a very practical engineering orientation with many real-world industrial control examples and problems. Coverage includes plantwide control and the interactions between steady-state design and dynamic controllability. MATLAB is used as a computer-aided analysis tool. Additionally, many examples and an extensive selection of problems are included.
