- Book Synopsis
- Process Instrumentation, Control and Dynamics is a class-tested text for chemical engineering students. The material incorporates life science, and relates complex concepts in chemical engineering to real-world events such as the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and the shutdown of the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan. The text also demonstrates how complex engineering concepts relate to everyday life through examples as diverse as the torque control of the agitator in an automatic washing machine, to the absorption of beer and the effect this has on the human brain. Both original and comprehensive, the book covers a wide range of topics within the field, including:Single and multiple compartment modelsThe occurrence of multiplicity in model solutionsControl types, i.e. feedback, feed-forward, internal, ratio and estimationStability types including stable, integrating and inverse Instruments such as thermocouples, pressure transducers, viscometers and tonometersThe book provides an extensive amount of detailed information in a knowledgeable, yet practical way.
