Publisher's Synopsis
Volume 1 : Process Control for Practitioners provides a thorough understanding of the basic principles and techniques used in analysis and design of process control. It has been prepared keeping in view the abstractness of this science Process control and for better understanding of this subject for practicing engineers, teachers and students of Instrumentation, Electrical and Electronics disciplines. The major topics of process control have been explained with greater lucidity by taking appropriate illustrative examples for easier comprehension and quick assimilation of the subject. Also the subject matter has been carefully prepared to cater to the needs of multi-disciplined engineering students where process control systems, are an integral part of their curriculum. It explains the concepts of process control instrumentation with a touch of practicality supported by related mathematical background to make the reading journey interestingly instructive. Volume 2 : The emphasis of title Process Control: Designing Processes and Control Systems lies on the design of control systems, and much less on the technical details in the systems. In other words, the book focuses on the systems level thinking that the engineer should do when designing a new embedded application (or redesigning/improving already existing systems). The book also tries to bring some structure and classification into the tremendously large variety of systems and their design process: designing a new vending machine brings very different challenges than the design of an automated luggage handling system in a large airport, or than the development of a new generation of football playing robots. Volume 3 : Automatic control is the application of control theory for regulation of processes without direct human intervention. An automatic sequential control system may trigger a series of mechanical actuators in the correct sequence to perform a task. The book Introduction to the Automatic Process Control covers all major concepts and techniques and provides students with a concise introduction to the basic concepts in automatic control systems and other various methods. Each and every topic is presented in a relative easy language, which is of great importance for the beginners. This book has been designed to inculcate principles and methods of Automatic Process Control to the students. Systematic pedagogy enables the readers to develop in-depth knowledge of the subject. The readers will find the book to be very useful for teaching as well as learning. Volume 4 : The control of processes is one of the main branches of applied instrumentation. Instrumentation can also refer to handheld devices that measure some desired variable. Diverse handheld instrumentation is common in laboratories, but can be found in the household as well. The book Instrumentation and Process Control provides lucid explanations of the operation of all important Instrumentation generally available today. Every effort has been done to update the contents of the book to the present-day technology used in modern industry. The text is profusely illustrated with block diagrams, schematic diagrams and a number of tables and glossary.
