CHAPTER 1 : INTRO. TO PROCESS CONTROL
1. Write down the rules (algorithm) that you use when you
drive an automobile or bicycle.
2. Formulate questions with answers and trade with
members of your study group.
3. Find a P&I drawing in one of the textbook references
(or recent volume of Chemical Engineering Practice),
explain the strategy, and prepare questions for your
instructor on aspects that you do not understand.
4. Find examples of control systems in your house. (Hint:
look at the heating, air conditioning, toilet tank, and the
most highly automated room, the kitchen.
