Digital Computer Applications to Process Control presents the developments in the application of digital computers to the control of technical processes. This book discusses the control principles and includes as well direct feedback and feed forward control as monitoring and optimization of technical processes. Organized into five parts encompassing 77 chapters, this book begins with an overview of the two categories of microprocessor systems. This text then discusses the concept of a sensor controlled robot that adapts to any task, assures product quality, and eliminates machine tending labor. Other chapters consider the ergonomic adaptation of the human operator's working conditions to his abilities. This book discusses as well the self-tuning regulator for liquid level in the acetic acid evaporator and its actual performance in production. The final chapter deals with algebraic method for deadbeat control of multivariable linear time-invariant continuous systems. This book is a valuable resource for electrical and control engineers.

Manufacturing, reduced to its simplest form, involves the sequencing of product forms through a number of different processes. Each individual step, known as an unit manufacturing process, can be viewed as the fundamental building block of a nation's manufacturing capability. A committee of the National Research Council has prepared a report to help define national priorities for research in unit processes. It contains an organizing framework for unit process families, criteria for determining the criticality of a process or manufacturing technology, examples of research opportunities, and a prioritized list of enabling technologies that can lead to the manufacture of products of superior quality at competitive costs. The study was performed under the sponsorship of the National Science Foundation and the Defense Department's Manufacturing Technology Program.

Practical guidance on how to apply process control fundamentals to solve real-world control problems Practical Process Control Design with Industrial Applications presents process control essentials and control strategy design fundamentals for modern-day DCS work environments. It uses a unique instructional approach—a process analysis and process understanding framework that enables readers to better understand and more effectively use process control fundamentals. Process analysis, operating objectives, and business drivers guide the identification of control objectives and facilitate control strategy designs of realistic control applications for real-world unit operations. Filling a gap in the literature, coverage includes: Merging process analysis, process understanding, and real-world plant operations with process control essentials and design fundamentals Detailed discussion of real-world design issues and realistic process-specific control strategies Methods used to ensure acceptable control performance continues when various “what if” issues arise How process control design fundamentals are applied in important unit-specific control strategies How best to apply specific control attributes (control direction), control options (PID proportional action), standard DCS functionality (algorithms and/or function blocks), and corporate or site standards (input signal validation) to develop control strategies that achieve control objectives with acceptable control performance. Practical Process Control Design with Industrial Applications is an essential reference for control engineers and process engineers who support process control activities in an operating plant, DCS vendor control application specialists, and EPC company project engineers who support process control activities in capital projects.
