Principles and Practices of Automatic Process Control / Edition 3

by Carlos A. Smith, Armando B. Corripio

Overview

Highly practical and applied, this Third Edition of Smith and Corripio’s Principles and Practice of Automatic Process Control continues to present all the necessary theory for the successful practice of automatic process control. The authors discuss both introductory and advanced control strategies, and show how to apply those strategies in industrial examples drawn from their own professional practice.

  The strengths of the book are its simplicity, excellent examples, practical approach, real case studies, and focus on Chemical Engineering processes. More than any other textbook in the field, Smith & Corripio prepares a student for use of process control in a manufacturing setting.
