CHEME 3720 - Introduction to Process Dynamics and Control

Spring. 2 credits. Letter grades only.

Prerequisite: CHEME 3130 and CHEME 3230.

J.R. Engstrom.

Modeling and analysis of the dynamics of chemical processes, Laplace transforms, block diagrams, feedback control systems, and stability analysis.

Outcome 1: Students apply mathematical analysis to develop models for chemical process systems.

Outcome 2: Students complete all problem sets in groups of 2-3 people.

Outcome 3: The first problem set is an open-ended assignment, which helps introduce basic concepts of control, including the identification of variables, parameters, inputs an outputs. Students are encouraged to select a system that is not a traditional chemical process.
