Quantitative Process Control Theory

Presenting a unique control design approach for process engineering systems, this state-of-the-art book provides a systematic quantitative treatment of linear control design for multivariable systems and shows how it can be applied in paper malting, heat exchange systems, nuclear reactors, and various automative systems. The text develops simple no-weight, analytical, and quantitative optimal design procedures, placing equal emphasis upon theoretical and application aspects of the subject. It provides a rigorous treatment without extensively using advanced mathematics and includes numerous worked examples and exercises of varying difficulty.
