Features: This book is the crystallization of the author's 35 years of teaching practice, and its previous edition has been adopted as a textbook by over 80 universities worldwide. It comprehensively and systematically elaborates on the theoretical and practical issues of modern process control. It includes process models and dynamic characteristics, feedback and feedforward, advanced control, as well as some new content covered in recent years, such as batch process control and plant-wide control. Starting from the characteristics of chemical engineering processes, the book applies control theory to design and analyze process control systems, discusses issues and evaluations in the implementation of control systems, and further clarifies the integration and design of the entire control system. The book contains more than 120 case analyses and over 370 exercises, along with a substantial number of reference books. It is rich in content, easy to understand, and provides thorough analysis. This book can serve as a textbook for chemical engineering majors in colleges and universities, as well as a reference book for process control professionals and self-study material for engineering technicians in the field of process control.
