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 ...

Biologics derived from mammalian sources are expected to undergo two orthogonal virus removal processes. One common processing step is a batch low-pH hold to inactivate enveloped viruses. Attempts to ...

(A) 3D model of the manipulator structure, consisting of 3 continuum segments. The manipulator operates in the plane. (B) Close-up view of the revolute joint between adjacent disks. (C) Diagram ...

Australian researchers are proposing a novel, learning-based H∞ control method to enhance the performance of vanadium redox flow batteries in DC microgrids. Vanadium redox flow batteries are one of ...

Automation aims to standardize industrial operations and bring overall efficiency to today’s production lines. Such gains, however, may come with considerable effort, as engineering teams must ...

The goal is to allow the PLC to be continually upgraded like a smartphone instead of being doomed to obsolescence. Controller manufacturers have created their own app stores to provide links for ...

Process control can be viewed as the executive portion of a unit process. It provides the means to direct a process so that it produces the desired results. It is complementary to the role played by ...
