Offering a different approach to other textbooks in the area, this book is a
comprehensive introduction to the subject divided in three broad parts. The
first part deals with building physical models, the second part with developing
empirical models and the final part discusses developing process control
solutions. Theory is discussed where needed to ensure students have a full
understanding of key techniques that are used to solve a modeling problem.
Hallmark Features: Includes worked out examples of processes where the theory
learned early on in the text can be applied.Uses MATLAB simulation examples of
all processes and modeling techniques- further information on MATLAB can be
obtained from
