Plant structure is utilized for the simplification of system analysis and controller synthesis.
For plants where the directionality is independent of frequency, the singular-value …

The paradigm shift in the pharmaceutical industry to continuous manufacturing, which has
recently progressed from conceptual demonstration to pilot production, has stimulated the …

This is the first in-depth presentation in book form of current analytical methods for optimal
design, selection and evaluation of instrumentation for process plants. The presentation is …

Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) is proving to be a very useful tool in modern linear
system theory. It is also finding an important role in analysis and design of control systems …

A new technique for selecting manipulated variables from a range of possible control inputs
is introduced. The new technique, Single-Input Effectiveness (SIE), provides a screening …

Reactive Distillation is one of the most representative examples of Process Intensification
due this technology allows to simplify and to unify the reaction and separation processes in …

In chemical plants, operability problems arise mainly due to poor process designs,
inaccurate models and/or the control system designs that are unable to cope with process …

This paper is concerned with the synthesis of a nonlinear state feedback law for nonsquare
multivariable nonlinear systems. Previous approaches in the literature have solved this …
