Modeling for Control and Prediction Brian Roffel is a study book aimed at integrating physical and empirical models for process control. This book provides a clear, comprehensive introduction that is suitable for advanced undergraduate students in chemical engineering and related disciplines.
The content is divided into three parts: building physical models, developing empirical models, and applying these models in process control. The theory is explained where needed to ensure a complete understanding. Practical applications and MATLAB simulations strengthen the learning process.
Features
- Thoughtful examples that illustrate the connection between theory and practice.
- Use of MATLAB as a supporting simulation method.
- Access to an additional website with extra practice material and figures.
The book is published by John Wiley & Sons and has 560 pages (ISBN 9780470016640). It covers topics in chemistry and is intended for in-depth study of modeling, control, and prediction in technical processes.
