Students who would pick 3rd year (and 2nd year) recommended courses during their exchange must have passed these courses or similar ones in their home university.
Course Summary
The course introduces students to the mathematical theory, modern practice and industrial technology of process control, combining theoretical and computational approaches in order to illustrate how dynamic mass and heat balances govern the response of unit operations and plants to setpoint changes and external disturbances.
Course Description
Introduction - Dynamics of simple systemsFormulation of transient mass and energy balancesLinearisation relative to steady state (setpoint)Laplace Transforms - Definition and propertiesSolution of linear dynamic problems in the Laplace domainTransfer functions, Inverse Laplace and dynamic responsesDynamics of multiple unitsFeedback control - Open and closed loopsPID Control: Proportional, Integral and Derivative componentsTuning of PID controllers Routh-Hurwitz stabilityExperimental determination of transfer functionsExamples and synthesis of control loops in chemical engineeringShort introduction to more advanced process control techniques (feedback, feedforward, ratio control, cascade control, Model Predictive ControlComputational examples and self-study materials will complement the lectures
