Numerical Time Constant

The document discusses numerical analysis methods for calculating time constants based on open-loop process response data. It presents a numerical formulation for calculating the time constant Tc by determining the time Tnss at which the new steady state occurs based on the slope of the line between two data points, and then calculating Tc as Tnss minus the time delay Td. A diagram is included illustrating the process response curve and key points used in the calculations.
