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 ...

Use of modeling software can help improve process understanding, and can be used in open- or closed-loop control. Process modeling is becoming established as a method to design and optimize ...

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 ...

Aspen Technology's Elinor Price describes how advanced process control modeling and simulation can become part of the modern control room. An upcoming feature article in January, "Changing Workforce ...

Multiscale modelling and control of thin film deposition processes encompass advanced simulation techniques that integrate phenomena occurring over disparate spatial and temporal scales. At the ...

A new process control method uses a special mathematical structure to accurately estimate the internal process variables of a system, even when external sensors are damaged. Be it nuclear power plants ...

Systems-based pharmaceutics case studies, challenges, and new uses were discussed at PSE’s Advanced Process Modeling Forum. Systems-based Pharmaceutics (SbP) uses a systems engineering approach and ...

We propose an approach for the modeling, monitoring and control of operational risk in financial institutions based on a methodology that integrates business process modeling with statistical and ...

We first developed a virtual device structure to test how ALD thickness affects hole size uniformity and CD. We started our virtual experiment by using two crisscross SAQP processes and transferring a ...
