This book is a snapshot of the state of the art of controlling unit operations. It describes the optimization of air handlers, boilers, chemical reactors, chillers, clean-rooms, compressors and fans, cooling towers, heat exchangers, and pumping stations.
This book discusses real world processes - where pipes leak, sensors plug, and pumps cavitate - offering practical solutions to real problems. This second edition reflects the continual improvement and evolution of control systems as well as anticipates future advances.
