The course covers the dynamic behaviour, modelling and control of chemical/biochemical processes. The principles of feedback and feedforward and cascade control of the commonly-encountered systems such as level, flow, temperature, and pressure control systems are described. Theory is introduced to illustrate current practices. Simulations of dynamic behaviour of processes will make use of the MATLAB/SIMULINK programming environments. LabView programming will be covered and control of an actual process using LabView and NI-data acquisition (National Instrument DAQ) systems will be implemented.
