Description
Offering a different approach to other textbooks in the area, this book is a comprehensive introduction to the subject divided in three broad parts. The first part deals with building physical models, the second part with developing empirical models and the final part discusses developing process control solutions. Theory is discussed where needed to ensure students have a full understanding of key techniques that are used to solve a modeling problem.
About the Author
Professor Brian Roffel, University of Twente, The Netherland
sProfessor Roffel has been teaching researching and managing research in the areas of analysis, simulation, control and optimization of process for over twenty years. In addition twelve years spent working in the chemical process industry gives his theoretical knowledge a practical grounding. Professor Roffel is part of a consortium of eight European Universities working on nonlinear multivariable control. He has also been involved in the practical implementation of advanced control in the chemical industry, in particular multivariable control and optimization.
