Chemical Process Dynamics and Controls by Peter Woolf

arthur peace

Chemical Process Dynamics and Controls – Process controls is a mixture between the statistics and engineering discipline that deals with the mechanism, architectures, and algorithms for controlling a process. Some examples of controlled processes are:

•Controlling the temperature of a water stream by controlling the amount of steam added to the shell of a heat exchanger.

•Operating a jacketed reactor isothermally by controlling the mixture of cold water and steam that flows through the jacket of a jacketed reactor.

•Maintaining a set ratio of reactants to be added to a reactor by controlling their flow rates.

•Controlling the height of fluid in a tank to ensure that it does not overflow.
