MATLAB® has become one of the prominent languages used in research and industry and often described as "the language of technical computing". The focus of this book will be to highlight the use of MATLAB® in technical computing; or more specifically, in solving problems in Process Simulations. This book aims to bring a practical approach to expounding theories: both numerical aspects of stability and convergence, as well as linear and nonlinear analysis of systems. The book is divided into three parts which are laid out with a "Process Analysis" viewpoint. First part covers system dynamics followed by solution of linear and nonlinear equations, including Differential Algebraic Equations (DAE) while the last part covers function approximation and optimization. Intended to be an advanced level textbook for numerical methods, simulation and analysis of process systems and computational programming lab, it covers following key points• Comprehensive coverage of numerical analyses based on MATLAB for chemical process examples.• Includes analysis of transient behavior of chemical processes.• Discusses coding hygiene, process animation and GUI exclusively.• Treatment of process dynamics, linear stability, nonlinear analysis and function approximation through contemporary examples.• Focus on simulation using MATLAB to solve ODEs and PDEs that are frequently encountered in process systems.

Master advanced control methods bridging academic theory and industrial practice Model Predictive Control: Fundamentals and Practice walks engineers through the transition from academic study to industrial application of advanced process control. This comprehensive text connects current model predictive control (MPC) theory to its industrial origins and classical linear control methods, providing the foundations necessary for effective real-world application. This book’s three-part structure guides readers from basic industrial algorithms through linear systems fundamentals to advanced MPC topics. It clarifies equivalences between MPC and Linear-Quadratic optimal control, and between Moving Horizon Estimation and Kalman filtering. It also includes practical coverage of system identification. The book balances up-to-date theory with hands-on applications and maintains accessibility without sacrificing mathematical rigor. Readers will learn to: Effectively transition theoretical knowledge into practical control applications for complex processesUnderstand connections between MPC and classical optimal control methods through clear detailed explanationsMaster system identification techniques essential for developing accurate process modelsExplore nonlinear MPC and the innovative Repetitive MPC for advanced real-world control challengesApply concepts through curated sample problems designed to enhance practical understanding and implementation skillsThis is an ideal graduate-level textbook and essential reference for practicing engineers seeking to master advanced control strategies. It balances authoritative theoretical explanation with practical application, preparing readers to solve real-world control problems.
