Process Simulation and Control Using Aspen - Softcover

To overcome this situation, various process flowsheet simulators are used. This book describes the simulation, optimization, dynamics and closed-loop control of a wide variety of chemical processes using the most popular commercial flowsheet simulator Aspen . The book presents the Aspen simulation of a large variety of chemical units, including flash drum, continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR), plug flow reactor (PFR), petroleum refining column, heat exchanger, absorption tower, reactive distillation, distillation train, and monomer production unit. It also discusses the dynamics and control of flow-driven as well as pressure-driven chemical processes using the Aspen Dynamics package.

Amlya K. Jana received his B.E. degree in chemical engineering in 1998 from Jadavpur University, M.Tech. in chemical engineering in 2000 from IIT Kharagpur, and Ph.D. in chemical engineering in 2004 from IIT Kharagpur. Presently, Dr. Jana is Assistant Professor at IIT Kharagpur. His areas of research include control system, process intensification, and modelling and simulation.
