Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 36th Tutzing Symposion Computer Application in Process and Plant Engineering The volume represents the revised papers of the 36th Tutzing Symposion held at the Evangelische Akademie Scholss Tutzing. Germany, on March 9 – 12, 1998. Computers and application software constitute a major driving force for progress in chemical engineering. Major impacts have been initiated by new computer based calculation methods and the inclusion of heuristics for synthesis, simulation and optimization of individual processes as well as plant wide operation. CAD-software provides the capacity to extract technical information represented in a drawing and to integrate it with alpha-numeric data. Global networks have initiated a further revolution in information technology as it is applied to the field of chemical engineering. It has been ten years since the last Tutzing Symposion on ???Modern computer technologies and their effects on chemical technology" took place. This long time span provided ample reason to review and to discuss the impact of modern computer technologies in progress engineering. Representatives of software companies, academic researchers as well as industrial development managers and users of practical applications were invited to discuss recent computer applications as well as their own vision of future challenges. The topics covered by the 24 papers include system integration, process development, process design, process control and plant design.

Download or read book Computer Control in the Process Industries written by Brian Roffel and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-07-28 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Techniques such as dead time compensation, adaptive control and Kalman filtering have been around for some time, but as yet find little application in industry. This is due to several reasons, including: Articles in the literature usually assume that the reader is familiar with a specific topic and are therefore often difficult for the practicing control engineer to comprehend. Many practicing control engineers in the process industry have a chemical engineering background and did not receive a control engineering education. There is a wide gap between theory and practical implementation, since implementation is primarily concerned with robustness, and theory is not. The user therefore has to build an "expert shell" in order to achieve the desired robustness. Little is published on this issue, however. This book tries to promote the use of advanced control techniques by taking the reader from basic theory to practical implementation. It is therefore of interest to practicing control engineers in various types of industries, especially the process industry. Graduate and undergraduate students in control engineering will also find the book extremely useful since many practical details are given which are usually omitted in books on control engineering. Of special interest are the simulation examples, illustrating the application of various control techniques. The examples are available on a 5-1/4" floppy disk and can be used by anyone who has access to LOTUS 1-2-3. Chapter 1 is the introduction; Chapters 2 through 6 deal with distributed control system networks, computer system software, computer system selection, reliability and security, and batch and continuous control. Chapter 7 gives and introduction to advanced control. Chapters 8 through 11 deal with dead time compensation techniques and model identification. Chapters 12 through 14 discuss constraint control and design, and the adjustment and application of simple process models and optimization. Chapter 15 gives a thorough introduction to adaptive control, and the last two chapters deal with state and parameter estimation. This book is a valuable tool for everyone who realizes the importance of advanced control in achieving improved plant performance. It will take the reader from theory to practical implementation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The User-Computer Interface in Process Control: A Human Factors Engineering Handbook is a handbook of human factors engineering guidelines for the design of the user-computer interface in process control applications. It describes the principles and practice of human factors engineering in the design, development, and acquisition of computer systems for process control, with emphasis on visual display use and design. This book consists of 10 chapters and begins by explaining what human factors engineering is, along with its role in computerized process control and some of the factors that contribute to deficient user-interface design. The discussion then turns to the principles of systems development and how they relate to human factors issues during the design process. The following chapters focus on the application of human factors guidelines to visual display units (VDUs); the strategy, method, and format for selection and organization of variables that may have an effect on human performance with specific application to user-computer interface issues such as brightness, contrast, and flicker; and various hardware aspects of VDUs. Controls and input devices, control/display integration, and workplace layout are also considered. This monograph will be a useful resource for software engineers, system designers, and project managers.

Download or read book Software Architectures and Tools for Computer Aided Process Engineering written by Bertrand Braunschweig and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2002-10-30 with total page 713 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of editing a book on modern software architectures and tools for CAPE (Computer Aided Process Engineering) came about when the editors of this volume realized that existing titles relating to CAPE did not include references to the design and development of CAPE software. Scientific software is needed to solve CAPE related problems by industry/academia for research and development, for education and training and much more. There are increasing demands for CAPE software to be versatile, flexible, efficient, and reliable. This means that the role of software architecture is also gaining increasing importance. Software architecture needs to reconcile the objectives of the software; the framework defined by the CAPE methods; the computational algorithms; and the user needs and tools (other software) that help to develop the CAPE software. The object of this book is to bring to the reader, the software side of the story with respect to computer aided process engineering.
