內容: ●An ideal balance between classical control theory and applications. ●Practical applications of advanced control strategies. ●The material is presented in a way that Chemical Engineering students can understand and relate to. ●Comprehensive explanations of controllers and their tuning. ●Integration of process simulation, instrumentation and control. ●Clear presentation of process characteristics, modeling,instrumentation and control valves. ●Design control schemes for process plants. Applied presentation of computer control techniques. ●Strong emphasis on understanding the dynamic response of the process, and then applying control techniques. When students learn to model, in the first half of the course, the second half (controls) is easier for them because the proper foundation has been laid. ●Facilitates students’ understanding of the development of a block diagram from process fundamentals, reinforcing their understanding of process. The strengths of the book are its simplicity, excellent examples, practical approach, real case studies, and focus on Chemical Engineering processes. More than any other textbook in the field, Smith & Corripio prepares a student for use of process control in a manufacturing setting. 目錄 1. Introduction. 2.
