The author attempts to portray the ideas and general principles of the theory of materials
within the framework of phenomenological continuum mechanics. It is a well-written rigorous …

Process Control introduces an emerging area in process control–control system analysis
and design based on the concept of passive systems. Passive systems are a class of …

Almost all process systems are nonlinear in nature. Nonlinear control is traditionally an area
of interest in process systems engineering which is of great practical importance. These facts …

This paper first provides an overview of the financial state of the process industry, major
issues it currently faces, and job placement of chemical engineers in the US. These facts …

This monograph provides insight and fundamental understanding into the feedback control
of nonlinear and hybrid process systems. It presents state-of-the-art methods for the …

We connect thermodynamics and the passivity theory of nonlinear control. The storage
function is derived from the convexity of the entropy and is closely related to the …

In this paper we study the frequency and time domain behaviour of a heat exchanger
network system. The system is governed by hyperbolic partial differential equations. Both the …

This paper proposes a thermodynamical pseudo-Hamiltonian formulation of Continuous
Stirred Tank Reactor model in which takes place some chemical reaction. This is done both …
