Timetable:

Semester 2

Contact:

39 hours, comprising 26 hours of lectures and 13 hours of tutorials

Objectives:

Students successfully completing this subject will be:

  • able to analyse the dynamics of a process;

  • able to understand the principles of control;

  • able to apply control theory to practical chemical engineering systems;

  • identify situations where simple control systems are inadequate and recommend the use of dead time compensation, cascade control and feed forward compensation.
