1 CHEN 461 Syllabus: Process Dynamics and Control Department of Chemical Engineering Texas A&M University Jack E. Brown Building 104 MWF 11:30am 12:20am Dr. Juergen Hahn, Instructor Mr. Jacky Huang, TA Instructor: Dr. Juergen Hahn Office: Brown 225 Office Phone: Office hours: Wednesday: 1:00-2:00 p.m. (other hours by appointment) TA/Grader: Jacky Huang Office: Brown 315 Office hours: Tuesday: 2:00-3:00 p.m. Goals: To provide students with the knowledge of process modeling & dynamics, process control, and control system analysis and design. Knowledge, Abilities, and Skills Students Should Have Entering This Course: 1. CHEN 320 (basic understanding of numerical analysis). 2. Perform macroscopic energy and mass balances for dynamic operations. 3. Solve analytically algebraic and ordinary differential equations. 4. Knowledge of complex variables and complex functions. 5. Some experience of process sensors and measurements. Knowledge, Abilities, and Skills Students Should Gain From This Course: 1. Develop mathematical and transfer function models for dynamic processes. 2. Implement dynamic models with or without controllers and perform simulations using computational tools. 3. Analyze process stability and dynamic responses. 4. Empirically determine process dynamics from step response data. 5. Evaluate dynamic performance of processes via benchmarks and statistics. 6. Know different types of PID feedback controllers. 7. Analyze and tune PID controllers to desired performance. 8. Read block diagrams and process and instrumentation diagrams. 9. Know frequency analysis of dynamic processes. 10. Design feed forward control, cascade control and Smith predictors. 11. Know MIMO process interactions. 12. Formulate and solve control-related optimization problems. 13. Work in teams on dynamics and control related problems. 14. Present results on dynamics and control related problems.

2 1. Homework will be assigned weekly and completed homework assignments will be collected during the class period on the due date. Late homeworks receive a 50% reduction of the points if the homework is less than 24hrs late; no homeworks will be accepted more than 24hrs late. Homework keys will be posted on the web site. The homework sets can be done in groups of up to 3 students where the first page needs to include the names of all students of the group. The make-up of the groups is allowed to change from one homework set to the next. Each member of a group working on a homework set will receive the same grade for this homework. Students who are requesting an excused absence on a day the homework is due are expected to uphold the Aggie Honor Code and Student Conduct Code. 2. Grading is based on: Homework 10% Project 15% Three exams during the semester 25% each One final exam 25% The lowest grade of the four exams will be dropped. The homework or the project cannot be dropped. 3. There will be several computer simulation/controller tuning projects as part of the homework assignments. Also, a major class project involving a written final report and possibly a presentation will be assigned. Students should work in groups on this project. 4. Exams are given every 3 to 4 weeks. The final exam is 2 hours and requires an understanding of material presented throughout the whole semester. Extra review sessions will be scheduled. Exams may be given at night. Solutions will be posted on the web page. 5. The textbook is available from the Texas A&M Bookstore in the Memorial Student Center: Dale E. Seborg, Thomas F. Edgar, and Duncan A. Mellichamp, Process Dynamics and Control, 2 nd edition, John Wiley and Sons, New York (2003). 6. Prerequisities: CHEN The university views class attendance as an individual student responsibility. Students are expected to attend class and to complete all assignments. Students who are requesting an excused absence are expected to uphold the Aggie Honor Code and Student Conduct Code. Contacting the instructor or TA about questions by is encouraged. 8. Some class notes and all the homework assignments are available on the web site. Homework solutions will also be posted there. 9. Texas A&M Services for Students with Disabilities: ( ): The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal anti-discrimination statute that provides comprehensive civil rights protection for persons with disabilities. Among other things, this legislation requires that all students with disabilities be guaranteed a learning environment that provides for reasonable accommodation of their disabilities. If you believe you have a disability requiring an accommodation, either temporary (e.g. broken arm) or permanent (including a learning disability), please contact the

3 Department of Student Life, Services for Students with disabilities in B118 Cain Hall (Hours: 8 AM to 5:30 PM). If you have any questions, see me. 10. Aggie Honor Code: An Aggie does not lie, cheat, or steal or tolerate those who do. Upon accepting admission to Texas A&M University, a student immediately assumes a commitment to uphold the Honor Code, to accept responsibility for learning, and to follow the philosophy and rules of the Honor System. Students will be required to state their commitment on examinations, research papers, and other academic work. Ignorance of the rules does not exclude any member of the TAMU community from the requirements or the processes of the Honor System. For additional information please visit:
