The Real-Time pH Process Modeling and Control Simulation Software is built in National Instruments' LabVIEW platform and includes pH process diagram, a strong-acid-strong-base pH model, a ...

Author Dr. R. Russell Rhinehart discusses his new book, Nonlinear Model-Based Control: Using First-Principles Models in Process Control, and explains why nonlinear first-principles models should be ...

A steel processing plant in South Africa needed to upgrade its Wonderware InTouch 7.0 to version 9.5. Plant operators tried the initial upgrade and no errors were reported. But the implementation on ...

Shrinking technology nodes and smaller process margins require improved photolithography overlay control. Generally, overlay measurement results are modeled with Cartesian polynomial functions for ...

I recently surveyed the on-site development of the control system for a large concentrated solar power station. This “first of a kind” facility offered many control challenges, such as balancing heat ...

Distributed control systems and programmable logic controllers have long been used to regulate power plant operations, but advanced techniques that have been proven in refining and other industries ...

Computer modeling techniques that accelerated the production of COVID-19 vaccines could benefit the wider vaccine sector if international regulators can develop harmonized guidelines. Bringing a ...

Filament winding is a common and enabling manufacturing process for producing composite items such as pressure vessels, driveshafts, electrical fuses and numerous other bodies of revolution. Fiber ...
