Process Dynamics and Control Techniques 4/e Wiley Custom Edition

●Presentation provides a balance of theory and practice, emphasize dynamic behavior, physical and empirical modeling, computer simulation, measurement and control technology, fundamental control concepts, and advanced control strategies.
●Material is divided into reasonably short chapters to make it more readable and modular. This organization allows some chapters to be omitted without a loss of continuity.
●The mathematical level of the book is oriented toward a junior or senior student in chemical engineering who has taken at least one course in differential equations.
●Additional mathematical tools required for the analysis of control systems are introduced as needed. The authors emphasize process control techniques that are used in practice and provide detailed mathematical analysis only when it is essential for understanding the material.
●Key theoretical concepts are illustrated with numerous examples, exercises, and simulations.

He earned a B.S. degree from Georgia Tech and a Ph.D. from Purdue University with intermediate studies at the Technische Universität Stuttgart (Germany). He presently serves on the governing boards of several nonprofit organizations.
Francis J. Doyle III is the Associate Dean for Research in the College of Engineering at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He holds the Duncan and Suzanne Mellichamp Chair in Process Control in the Department of Chemical Engineering, as well as appointments in the Electrical Engineering Department, and the Biomolecular Science and Engineering Program. He received his B.S.E. from Princeton, C.P.G.S. from Cambridge, and Ph.D. from Caltech, all in Chemical Engineering. He is a Fellow of IEEE, IFAC, and AIMBE; he is also the recipient of multiple research awards (including the AIChE Computing in Chemical Engineering Award) as well as teaching awards (including the ASEE Ray Fahien Award).

●General revisions for the fourth edition include reducing the emphasis on lengthy theoretical derivations and increasing the emphasis on analysis using widely available software: MATLAB®, Simulink® and Mathematica.
●Material on major topics including control system design, instrumentation, and troubleshooting has been significantly revised to reflect new developments.
●References at the end of each chapter have been updated and new exercises have been added.
