Chemical Process Control: An Introduction to Theory and Practice – George Stephanopoulos – 1st Edition

A thorough overview of all aspects of chemical process control – 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; analysis and design of digital computer control systems.

As its title suggests; this is an introductory text to the theory and practice of chemical process control. It is intended to cover the needs; as these pertain to the scope of basic chemical engineering education; (1) of a first undergraduate course in process dynamics and control; and (2) of the first part of an advanced undergraduate or graduate course in process control.
