Good building mechanical design requires a firm grasp of the mechanical engineering fundamentals (thermodynamics, psychrometrics, the fan laws, etc.). The same can be said about the BAS design needed ...

Control valve selection plays a crucial role in optimizing control loop performance, and engineers must consider factors beyond just cost, leakage class and pressure drop. As explored in a Control ...

Control loops are said to interact when movement of the final control element of one loop affects not only its own process variable but the process variable of one or more additional control loops as ...

Spare a moment’s pity for the process engineer, whose job it is to keep industrial automation running no matter what. These poor souls seem to be forever on call, fielding panicked requests to come to ...

also valuable as a concise and easy-to-read reference source on the subject. This new edition provides expanded coverage of pressure, level, flow, temperature, analytical measurement, and process ...

PID loops are a central component of modulating boiler control systems with applications ranging from basic steam header pressure control to cascading 3-element drum level control. A modern ...

Machines and processes are controlled using many strategies, from simple ladder logic to custom algorithms for specialized process control, but proportional-integral-derivative (PID) is the most ...

As an executive in the business process outsourcing (BPO) industry, I have seen firsthand how outsourcing has helped businesses to scale up and operate more efficiently. However, with the advancements ...

When implementing cooling solutions for electronic equipment, system designers are confronted with a complex set of variables. The cooling requirements are typically dynamic, and ambient temperatures ...
