Dynamics and control of chemical reactors, distillation columns, and batch processes (DYCORD+ '92) : selected papers from the 3rd IFAC symposium, Maryland, USA, 26-29 April 1992

In addition to the three main themes: chemical reactors, distillation columns, and batch processes this volume also addresses some of the new trends in dynamics and control methodology such as model based predictive control, new methods for identification of dynamic models, nonlinear control theory and the application of neural networks to identification and control. Provides a useful reference source of the major advances in the field.
