A distillation column is both multivariable and nonlinear - and it consumes immense quantities of energy. Yet, despite the desigh challenges it presents, it is still the most popular unit operation for refining in industrial plants today. Much has been published on the subject of distillation column design, but much remains to be explained. That is why this book is unique. In a departure from the more traditional empirical and theoretical approaches, it introduced the reader to the practical realm, by presenting quantitative design techniques that have been demonstrated to be useful and valid over the course of hundreds of actual applications. The book is divided into three main parts. Part I, an introduction, presents an industrial perspective of control objectives. It discusses briefly the relationship between column design features and column controllability. It thus provides a short refresher course for chemical engineers and background for those trained in other branches of engineering. Part II, Concepts and Configurations, discusses column overhead and base arrangements, typical control schemes, and some hardware considerations. Part III is dedicated to quantitative design. Mathematical models are presented for pressure and differential pressure controls, liquid level control, and composition control of binary distillation.

Introduction to Control Systems

eBook
9 7 8 - 1 - 4 8 3 2 - 9 3 7 4 - 5

This book is written for use as a text in an introductory course in control systems. The classical as well as the state space approach is included and integrated as much as possible. The first part of the book deals with analysis in the time domain. All the graphical techniques are presented in one chapter and the latter part of the book deals with some advanced material. It is intended that the student should already be familiar with Laplace transformations and have had an introductory course in circuit analysis or vibration theory. To provide the student with an understanding of correlation concepts in control theory, a new chapter dealing with stochastic inputs has been added. Also Appendix\A has been significantly expanded to cover the theory of Laplace transforms and z-transforms. The book includes worked examples and problems for solution and an extensive bibliography as a guide for further reading.

Identification of Linear Systems

This book concentrates on the problem of accurate modeling of linear systems. It presents a thorough description of a method of modeling a linear dynamic invariant system by its transfer function. The first two chapters provide a general introduction and review for those readers who are unfamiliar with identification theory so that they have a sufficient background knowledge for understanding the methods described later. The main body of the book looks at the basic method used by the authors to estimate the parameter of the transfer function, how it is possible to optimize the excitation signals. Further chapters extend the estimation method proposed. Applications are then discussed and the book concludes with practical guidelines which illustrate the method and offer some rules-of-thumb.

Contributions to Economic Analysis, 132: The Fix-Point Approach to Interdependent Systems focuses on the Fix-Point method for the estimation of interdependent systems, including the Algebraic Fix-Point, Parametric Fix-Point, and Parametric Fractional Fix-Point methods. The selection first ponders on the fix-point approach to interdependent systems, iterative algorithms for fix-point estimation, and GEID specification. Discussions focus on the GEID estimator, convergence to multiple parameter sets, design of iterative algorithms, and challenges of simultaneous equations systems. The text then takes a look at the Parametric Fix-Point (PFP) and the Algebraic Fix-Point (AFP) methods; estimation of real-world models by fix-point and other methods; and a search for asymptotically efficient estimators. Topics include autoregressive errors, estimation of the Klein-Goldberger model, estimation of a model of the Czechoslovak economy, and the Parametric Fractional Fix-Point (PFFP) and Parametric Recursive Fix-Point (PRFP) methods. The text elaborates on fix-point estimates of the structure of a model using different Y proxy starts; analysis of the nonlinear Klein-Goldberger model using fix-point estimation and other methods; and fix-point estimation in interdependent systems with specification errors. The selection is a vital reference for researchers interested in the Fix-Point method for the estimation of interdependent systems.
