Module 14. Case Study Problems

The purpose of this module is to present some realistic multivariable process control problems that require the integration of a number of different concepts and techniques presented in the text. SIMULINK files for each of these processes can be downloaded from the text web page. The various case studies are as follows:

M14.1 Background

M14.2 Reactive Ion Etcher

M14.3 Rotary Lime Kiln Temperature Control

M14.4 Fluidized Catalytic Cracking Unit

M14.5 Anaerobic Sludge Digester

M14.6 Drug Infusion System

M14.7 Suggested Case Study Schedule

M14.8 Summary

A partial solution for the drug infusion case study is presented on the textbook web page.
