COURSE TITLE: Process Dynamics and Control II
COURSE CODE: CHNG 3003 (formerly CH32B)
LEVEL: 3
SEMESTER: 2
NO. OF CREDITS: 3
PRE-REQUISITE: CHNG 2006
COURSE DESCRIPTION/RATIONALE: The course material extends the basic modelling and
control concepts introduced in CHNG 2006. It comprises the following topics. Analysis and
design of advanced control systems; Feedback control of systems with large deadtime or
inverse response; Control systems with multiple loops; Feedforward and ratio control; Inferential
control systems; Control of multivariable processes; Interaction and decoupling of control loops;
Design of control systems for complete plants; Process control using digital computers;
Transition from continuous to discrete-time systems; Process identification. The main purpose
of CHNG 3003 is to equip students with the practical skills necessary to solve plant process
control problems and recognize opportunities for maximizing plant profitability.
LEARNING OUTCOMES: The student will
develop an appreciation for the architecture of distributed control and plant information
systems as well as the flexibility and functionality of digital feedback controllers
model the dynamics of chemical processes from first-principles and through regression
of plant step response data
design and simulate control systems with the MATLAB/Simulink and HYSYS.Plant
software packages
predict closed loop stability and performance characteristics from a Bode diagram
tune PID controllers by trial-and-error and using model-based tuning methods to meet
specific performance objectives
recognize the potential for loop interaction in the control of multivariate processes such
as distillation columns
pair manipulated and controlled variables in multi-loop PID control schemes using the
Relative Gain Array
examine design procedures which can be used to generate a control system for an
entire plant consisting of many interconnected unit operations.

TEACHING METHODOLOGY: The course content will be delivered by means of three lecturehours per week. In addition, there will be twelve two-hour computer workshops during which
students will be instructed in the use of MATLAB/Simulink and dynamic HYSYS.
ASSESSMENT: The extent to which students demonstrate the desired learning outcomes will
be assessed in the following examinations:
