Applied Process Control

1Problems – Introduction

Figure 1.1 maps process control development sequences as referred to in sections of Applied Process Control – Essential Methods. The problems in Chapters 2–9 are indexed with the same section references. One notes in Figure 1.1 that the main divisions are state-based systems versus input–output systems, with these two system types each again divided into linear and non-linear.

Recall that state-based systems are able to predict forward in time, knowing only the present state and future inputs, for example
