Features of the Process Control Course

The courses so far (such as Thermodynamics, Fluid


Mechanics, Heat Transfer, Mass Transfer, etc.) studied are
based mostly on steady state calculations.
Process Control course involves understanding the unsteady
operation of the plant; and about maintaining the plant at
near steady state using control elements.
Mathematical representation of unsteady operation leads to
differential equations. Laplace transform is used to convert
the differential equation to algebraic equation.
The resulting algebraic equations are written as transfer
function forms (output / input) and represented as block
diagrams.
