Features: This textbook primarily introduces the basic concepts of process control systems (system composition, structure, classification, and transient process performance indicators), fundamental theoretical knowledge of process control (controlled object characteristics, simple control systems, and complex control systems), testing techniques for process equipment (basic concepts of process measurement and fundamental knowledge of errors, measurement principles, methods, and applications of parameters such as pressure, temperature, flow, liquid level, and material composition, introduction to new sensors, and computer-aided testing systems), process control devices (transmitters, controllers, and actuators), computer control systems (composition and classification of computer control systems, A/D and D/A converters, direct digital control systems, design and implementation of computer control systems, and measures to improve the reliability of computer control systems), typical process control system application solutions (single-loop control, fluid transport equipment control, computer numerical control, and typical examples), and an introduction to advanced process control systems (adaptive control, inferential control, predictive control, fuzzy control, and artificial neural network control).
Content Features: (1) Integrates relevant interdisciplinary knowledge according to professional specifications; (2) Offers moderate depth of control, with practical and relevant content.
Target Audience: Undergraduate and graduate students in the field of Process Equipment and Control Engineering, as well as engineering technicians.
