Course Description
At the end of this course, the students should be albe to:
1. explain the importance of process control in chemical engineering industry and classify
chemical process variables;
2. solve first order and second order ODE’s analytically and using Laplace transform;
3. determine the transfer function of chemical processes; and
4. determine the stability of chemical processes from their transfer function.
