COURSE OUTLINE    

KMU 417 - PROCESS CONTROL AND DESIGN

FALL SEMESTER, 2008-2009

 

INSTRUCTOR:

Dr. ÖNEL, Selis | selis@hacettepe.edu.tr

 

TEACHING ASSISTANT:

Gördesli, Pinar | fatmapinar.gordesli@hacettepe.edu.tr

 

COURSE GOALS:

Students will learn about:

- How to run a process/system in a controlled manner

- How to best operate a process plant in which not much is steady state and most of the parameters change (time dependent)

- Gain an appreciation for the dynamic behavior of chemical processes and develop strategies to operate these processes

- Teach the use of MATLAB/SIMULINK as a tool (using built-in functions) for solving process control problems

 

COURSE MAIN TEXTBOOK:

Currently, a main course textbook is not assigned and the students have the option to choose any of the supplementary textbooks for the course. The preferred textbook is Bequette's due to its examples with Matlab applications.
