"Process Systems Analysis and Control", Third Edition retains the clarity of presentation for which this book is well known. It is and ideal teaching and learning tool for a semester-long undergraduatte chemical engineering course in porcess dynamics and control. It avoids the encyclopedic approach of many other texts on this topic. Computer examples using MATLAB© and Simulink© have been introduced thorughout the book to supplement and enhance standard hand-solved examples.
These packages allow the easy construction of block diagrams and quick analysis of control concepts to enable the student to explore "what-if" type problems that would be much more difficult and time consuming by hand. New homework problems have been added to each chapter. The new problems are a mixture of hand-solutions and computational-exercises. One-page capsule summaries have been added to the end of each chapter to help stuents review and study the most important concepts in each chapter.
