Keeping the operating conditions at the required conditions in spite of the continuous changes in known and unknown factors is the objective of a control system.

The following topics are covered in this book:

  • Mathematical tools for understanding the dynamics of processes.

  • Unsteady response of simple chemical process systems.

  • Output of various simple modes of control.

  • Response of simple systems because of the addition of controllers.

  • Analysing the stability of controlled systems.

  • Introduction to advanced control schemes.
