Fundamentals of Process Control, Communication, and Instrumentation

The ideal engineer is a composite. .. He is not a scientist, he is not a mathematician, he is not a sociologist or a writer but he may use the knowledge and techniques of any or all of these disciplines in solving engineering problems. 

Engineering is the professional art of applying science to the optimum conversion of natural resources to the benefit of man. 

In the field of process control, most of the techniques that are used to describe processes are applied. As mentioned previously, through basic tools, such as material balances, we can determine

Control of the process means mastering the process, maintaining it in peak condition, and keeping it safe for people and equipment. How are processes controlled How does one detect that a process is out of control What is a smart way to take control of a process These are some of the questions to be addressed in this section.
