Now updated throughout, the modules in this text offer deeper treatment of specific example processes and systems, and thoroughly integrate the use of MATLAB code and Simulink block diagrams to solve problems. B. Wayne Bequette systematically introduces undergraduate chemical and biological engineering students to the essentials of process modeling, dynamics and control, offers extensive background material for graduate process control courses, and shares valuable insights for practitioners who want to understand modern model-based control techniques.
Master Process Control Hands On, through Updated Practical Examples and MATLAB® Simulations
Process Control: Modeling, Design, and Simulation, Second Edition, is a complete introduction to process control and has been fully updated, integrating current software tools to enable professionals and students to master critical techniques hands on through simulations based on modern versions of MATLAB. This revised edition teaches the field's most important techniques, behaviors, and control problems with even more practical examples and exercises. Wide-ranging enhancements include safety considerations, an expanded discussion of digital control, additional process examples, and updates throughout for newer versions of MATLAB and SIMULINK.
Fundamentals of process control and instrumentation, including objectives, variables, block diagrams, and process flowsheets Methodologies for developing dynamic models of chemical processes, including compartmental models Dynamic behavior of linear systems: state-space models, transfer function-based models (including conversion to state space), and more Empirical and discrete-time models, including relationships among types of discrete models Feedback control; proportional, integral, and derivative (PID) controllers; and closed-loop stability analysis Frequency response analysis techniques for evaluating the robustness of control systems Improving control loop performance: internal model control (IMC), automatic tuning, gain scheduling, and enhanced disturbance rejection Split-range, selective, and override strategies for switching among inputs or outputs Control loop interactions and multivariable controllers An introduction to model predictive control (MPC), with a new discrete state-space model derivation exerciseBequette walks step by step through developing control instrumentation diagrams for an entire chemical process, reviewing common control strategies for individual unit operations, then discussing strategies for integrated systems. This edition also includes 16 learning modules demonstrating how to use MATLAB and SIMULINK to solve many key control problems, including new modules on process monitoring and safety, as well as a detailed new study of artificial pancreas systems for Type 1 diabetes.

About the Author: B. Wayne Bequette is a Professor of Chemical and Biological Engineering and Technology Manager for the Smart Manufacturing Innovation Center (SMIC) at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where his research efforts are focused on the modeling and control of chemical process, biomedical, biopharma, and food manufacturing systems. He serves as the Board Secretary for the American Automatic Control Council (AACC) and as a Trustee of the Computer Aids for Chemical Engineering (CACHE) Corporation. Dr. Bequette is a founding member of the editorial board of the Journal of Diabetes Science and Technology and serves on the editorial board of Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research. He is a Fellow of IEEE, AIChE, and the American Institute of Medical and Biological Engineers (AIMBE), and was inducted into the Arkansas Academy of Chemical Engineers. He is the author of Process Control: Modeling, Design, and Simulation, Second Edition, and Process Dynamics: Modeling, Analysis, and Simulation (both from Pearson), and has published 17 book chapters and more than 125 refereed journal articles. While completing a BS in chemical engineering at the University of Arkansas, Dr. Bequette worked at Arkansas Eastman (handling utility and waste treatment problems) and Cosden Oil and Chemical. After his undergraduate studies, he was a process engineer at American Petrofina, where he had the chance to serve as a process operator during two work stoppages. This sparked his interest in process automation and control, enticing him to the University of Texas at Austin to earn a PhD with a focus on multivariable control-system analysis and design. He spent a year as a visiting lecturer at the University of California at Davis before becoming a professor at Rensselaer in 1988. While at Rensselaer, he has had the good fortune to serve as the advisor for 23 PhD students, in addition to teaching chemical process dynamics and control to at least 1500 undergraduate students. His outside interests include bicycling and pole-vaulting.

Additional Delivery Information (and some really important bits):
UK Delivery
Orders for delivery in the UK are normally despatched by Royal Mail, using the RM 48 Tracked Service with most orders delivered to you within a few days of placing your order with us. For larger parcels, Courier and Signed For delivery services may be used. Signed Books are shipped in our specially made book mailing cartons, with the books themselves wrapped in paper to protect them. Sometimes we may ship your order in several parts, particularly if you have 'Pre-Order' titles in your order or titles which are held in stock with our publishing partners.
The Really Important Bit: Because we use tracked, courier and signed for delivery services, please use an address at which your parcel can be received during the normal working day, for example, you may want to have your order delivered to your work address if you're not at home during the day.
First Item @ £3.75 (sometimes a shipping supplement may be added for particularly heavy books or specific postcodes*)
2 Items & over @ £5.00 in total
Another Really Important Bit: There are a number of Postcodes in the UK for which we will need to charge a shipping supplement, this will be calculated once we know the size and weight of the shipment. For these orders we will contact customers to agree a suitable and economic method of shipping. There may also be additional time required for delivery to some areas of the United Kingdom. Where possible, we will ship book orders (under 2kg) by Royal Mail to all UK postcodes. Large multiple book orders and books over 2kg are often shipped via APC Overnight or similar, regardless of Postcode.
