Coal-fired power plants are among the most unforgiving environments for advanced control engineering. Their boilers, heaters, ...
For those new to fields like robotics or aerospace, it can seem at first glance that a problem like moving a robot arm or flying an RC airplane might be simple problems to solve. It turns out, however ...
Where is knowledge of thermal engineering useful?IntroductionIn beverage factories, there is a process of heating products to ...
Self-regulating systems with feedback loops, i.e., the routing back of the output of a system to its input, have existed since antiquity and have since become an integral part of modern technology.
Author Dr. R. Russell Rhinehart discusses his new book, Nonlinear Model-Based Control: Using First-Principles Models in Process Control, and explains why nonlinear first-principles models should be ...
PID loops are a central component of modulating boiler control systems with applications ranging from basic steam header pressure control to cascading 3-element drum level control. A modern ...
Distillation columns are extensively deployed in the chemical process industries when there is a need for separation of components that have different boiling points. Typically, a mixture of ...
