Product Description

Product Description
This book teaches you the principles which underline the response of the process in industrial control systems. It was written for instrumentation and control engineers and technicians who, already familiar with the principles and hardware of industrial instrumentation and control systems, want to learn more about the industrial processes they control and operate. This book will also be helpful to students who wish to gain insight into chemical process principles as they relate to the design and application of automatic control systems. Contents: Review of Process Control Strategies Material Balance, Energy Balances liquid Flow Systems Compressible Flow System Heat Transfer Systems Distillation Operations Other Separation Processes and Chemical Reactors.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Introduction and Self-Study Guide to the Fundamentals of Industrial Process Control, 29 Dec 2006

This book is part of ISA's (formerly "The Instrument Society of America", later "The International Society for Measurement and Control" and now known as "The Instrument, Systems and Automation Society") Independent Learning Modules on Control Principles and Techniques.

This book is designed as a self-study guide for both beginners and experienced practitioner who want to learn more about Process Control Applications. As self-study guide there no specific prerequisites for using this book, other than a general understanding of high school physics and a working knowledge of the principles and hardware of industrial instrumentation and control systems, whether acquired through field experience or academic study. The author has left out most of the equations and derivations which one usually could find in the majority of process control books, but for the benefit of the reader had been replaced with word descriptions of the process relationships that make control systems work. The intend is to keep mathematics from becoming a barrier to the reader understanding of the principles of automatic control.

Since the table of contents is not included in the book description provided by the good fellows of Amazon, next I have included how the book is organized:

- Introduction and overview.
- Review of process control strategies.
- Material balances.
- Energy balances.
- Liquid flow systems.
- Compressible flow systems.
- Heat transfer systems.
- Distillation operations.
- Other separation processes.
- Chemical reactors.
- Suggestions for further reading
- Answer to all questions.
- Solutions to all exercises.

I am an Industrial Practitioner of Process Control. I have been working for more than 16 years as an Instrumentation, Automation, and Process Safety and Control Engineer for the Oil & Gas Industry. I have made extensive use of this book to prepare tutorial and training material for technician and operators. I have also found it useful in my day to day work as a refresher on the Fundamentals of Industrial Process Control Applications.

Absolutely a most have for any one working in the process industries and who need to understand how real world industrial process control applications (as the one you may find in your company's facilities) work.
