Principles of Process Control

by Patranabis

This edition is completely rewritten, reoriented and updated keeping pace with the current trends in process control. It reflects the rapid advances in automation. The ever increasing application of computers, and the phenomenal growth in process control related software base. In keeping with the course requirements of Indian universities, it strikes a balance between the old analogue techniques and new computer-based digital techniques. Rich in pedagogical features, the book incorporates new updated review questions adn a variety of solved exmaples. Key Provides a comprehensive account of complex control techniques.
