Automatic Control for Food Processing Systems [Hardcover]

Process control is a significant topic for all engineers responsible for industrial processing operations. This book introduces the reader to the range of process control techniques as applied to food and agricultural systems. It begins with an introduction to process modeling and control. Fundamental methods of process control are carefully explained in sections from dynamic modeling to control designing and implementation. The different methods of process control are accompanied by examples of application specific to food and agricultural industries.Introduction. Food Processing Systems. Background.
