The primary focus of this course is the analysis of the dynamics of chemical processes and the design of automatic control systems. Typical process dynamics are modelled using transfer functions and their implication on process control/operation is analysed. Empirical dynamic modelling techniques for both continuous and discrete time models are covered. The fundamental concepts of feedback/feedforward control are introduced, following by a an overview of process instrumentation and the heuristic process control rules and schemes for typical process units. Quantitative control design is then introduced suing the example of PID control. The concept of and conditions on control system stability and the control performance design are discussed. The model based control methods are presented including internal model control, direct synthesis and control design based on frequency response. More advanced control topics including cascade control, multiloop control, batch process control and digital control complete the course. The students will be familiarized with the numerical stimulation and computer aided control design environment by the extensive use of MATLAB/Simulink software. Laboratory components are designed to help students understand the control theory and familiarize themselves with the typical process control equipment. This course replaces CHEN3070 and CHEN4070.
