This book includes comprehensive treatment of dynamics and control methodology for all kinds of batch processes. It includes discussion of classical controllers such as proportional, integral, and derivative controls, while also considering advanced Generic Model Control and Artificial Neural Network based controllers with on-line adaptation. The coverage emphasizes the importance of design, operation, optimization, and control in maintaining profitability and safety when using batch processing. Integrating modeling, optimization, control, and scheduling, it provides practicing engineers and engineering students with a rare, all-in-one reference complete with methodology and case studies.
