This compact and original reference and textbook presents the most important classical and modern essentials of control engineering in one book. It constitutes a harmonic mixture of control theory and applications, which makes the book especially useful for graduate students, practicing engineers and researchers interested in modeling and control of processes. This well written and easily understandable book includes a broad spectrum of methods for the analysis and design of control systems in a very thorough way. The book includes solved multitude of practical applications, examples, exercises and unsolved problems at the end of each chapter as well as Matlab tools which are freely available at the web page of the book. "This is an impressive book really worth to be published. I do not know of any modern textbook including such a broad spectrum of classical and modern methods for analysis and synthesis of control systems not being represented superficially but very thoroughly" Heinz Unbehauen, Bochum University.

This study concentrates on a general optimization of a particular class of membrane separation processes: those involving batch diafiltration. Existing practices are explained and operational improvements based on optimal control theory are suggested. The first part of the book introduces the theory of membrane processes, optimal control and dynamic optimization. Separation problems are defined and mathematical models of batch membrane processes derived. The control theory focuses on problems of dynamic optimization from a chemical-engineering point of view. Analytical and numerical methods that can be exploited to treat problems of optimal control for membrane processes are described. The second part of the text builds on this theoretical basis to establish solutions for membrane models of increasing complexity. Each chapter starts with a derivation of optimal operation and continues with case studies exemplifying various aspects of the control problems under consideration. The authors work their way from the limiting flux model through increasingly generalized models to propose a simple numerical approach to the general case of optimal operation for batch diafiltration processes. Researchers interested in the modelling of batch processes or in the potential industrial applications of optimal control theory will find this monograph a valuable source of inspiration, instruction and ideas.
