AIM
To provide basic knowledge of controllers, find control elements and the processes.

OBJECTIVES
i. To study the basic characteristics of first order and higher order processes.
ii. To get adequate knowledge about the characteristics of various controller modes and
methods of tuning of controller.
iii. To study about various complex control schemes.
iv. To study about the construction, characteristics and application of control valves.
v. To study the five selected unit operations and a case study of distillation column control.

UNIT - I MATHEMATICAL MODELLING OF PROCESSES 12
