Process Control: Modeling, Design, and Simulation (International Series in the Physical and Chemical Engineering Sciences)

Now updated throughout, Process Control: Modeling, Design, and Simulation, 2nd Edition remains the only process control textbook that integrates MATLAB-based numerical solutions, fundamental content, and detailed illustrative examples throughout. Its up-to-date example modules offer deeper treatment of specific example processes and systems, and it thoroughly integrates 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. Coverage in this edition includes:

• Motivating biomedical examples (closed-loop artificial pancreas)
• More examples of the importance of process control in satisfying safety
• Additional material on digital implementation of PID and IMC
• More content on model predictive control
