Basic Process Engineering Control
Description
This book provides the methods, problems and tools necessary for process control engineering. This comprises process knowledge, sensor system technology, actuators, communication technology and logistics, as well as the design, construction, and operation of control systems. Beyond the traditional field of process engineering, the authors apply the same principles to biomedical processes, energy production and management of environmental issues.
