Course Outline Process Dynamics and Control
Course Outline Process Dynamics and Control
Course Objective:
• To gain practical and theoretical knowledge related to modeling, simula-
tion and analysis of chemical process; designing, analysis and tuning of
feedback and feed forward control systems for single input-single output
processes.
Learning Outcomes:
At the end of the course, the students should be able to:
• Explain design steps of control system
• Develop mathematical model and analyze degree of freedom for common
chemical processes
• Analyze the dynamic and static behavior of chemical processes with and
without controllers
• Analyze stability of controlled processes with feedback controller
• Design PID controller, Tuning and Troubleshooting for feedback control
system
• Design Feed forward Controller Based on Steady and Dynamic State Mod-
els.
