What you'll be able to do (official learning outcomes)
explain the basic principles and importance of process control in industrial process plants
specify the required instrumentation and final elements to ensure that well-tuned control is achieved
explain the use of block diagrams and the mathematical basis for the design of control systems
explain different control modes and their application in controlling various processes
explain the working of electric, hydraulic and pneumatic controllers
demonstrate the workings and application of the different types of actuators and control valves
explain the importance and application of good instrumentation for efficient design of process control loops for process engineering plants;
draw a PID (Process and Instrumentation Diagram) and devise simple but effective plant wide control strategies using appropriate heuristics. * The students should learn how to use instrumentation software, (LABVIEW, PDMS) Scilab (is a numer
