ABOUT THE COURSE:Analysis of dynamics of processes is an integral part of the design of process control systems. The development of a successful control strategy requires a thorough knowledge of the process dynamics under various process conditions. This course details the analysis of techniques for dealing with dynamical systems, both linear and non-linear.INTENDED AUDIENCE:Senior undergraduate and masters students of chemical engineering; will be equally useful for the students of biotechnology, mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering and physics.PREREQUISITES:The students should preferably be in their third year or later of the undergraduate degree.INDUSTRY SUPPORT:Honeywell, ABB
Advanced process dynamics
