andCorripio's Principles and Practice of Automatic Process Controlcontinues to present all the necessary theory for the successfulpractice of automatic process control. The authors discuss bothintroductory and advanced control strategies, and show how to applythose strategies in industrial examples drawn from their ownprofessional practice.Now revised, this Third Edition features:* Expanded coverage of the development of dynamic balances(Chapter 3)* A new chapter on modeling and simulation (Chapter 13)* More extensive discussion of distributive control systems* New tuning exercises (Appendix D)* Guidelines for plant-wide control and two new design case studies(Appendix B)* New operating case studies (Appendix E)* Book Website containing simulations to practice the tuning offeedback controllers, cascade controllers, and feedforwardcontrollers, and the MATLAB(r) files for simulation examples andproblemWith this text, you can:* Learn the mathematical tools used in the analysis and design ofprocess control systems.* Gain a complete understanding of the steady state behavior ofprocesses.* Develop dynamic mathematical process models that will help you inthe analysis, design, and operation of control systems.* Understand how the basic components of control systemswork.* Design and tune feedback controllers.* Apply a variety of techniques that enhance feedback control,including cascade control, ratio control, override control,selective control, feedforward control, multivariable control, andloop interaction.* Master the fundamentals of dynamic simulation of process controlsystems using MATLAB.
