Simulation of Dynamic Systems with MATLAB and Simulink

Harold Klee, Randal Allen, "Simulation of Dynamic Systems with MATLAB and Simulink, Second Edition" 
2011 | ISBN: 1439836736 | PDF | 815 pages | 22,7 MB

Continuous-system simulation is an increasingly important tool for optimizing the performance of real-world systems, and a massive transformation has occurred in the application of simulation in fields ranging from engineering and physical sciences to medicine, biology, economics, and applied mathematics. As with most things, simulation is best learned through practice—but explosive growth in the field requires a new learning approach. 

A response to changes in the field, Simulation of Dynamic Systems with MATLAB® and Simulink®, Second Edition has been extensively updated to help readers build an in-depth and intuitive understanding of basic concepts, mathematical tools, and the common principles of various simulation models for different phenomena. 

Includes an abundance of case studies, real-world examples, homework problems, and equations to develop a practical understanding of concepts 

Accomplished experts Harold Klee and Randal Allen take readers through a gradual and natural progression of important topics in simulation, introducing advanced concepts only after they construct complete examples using fundamental methods. Presented exercises incorporate MATLAB® and Simulink®—including access to downloadable M-files and model files—enabling both students and professionals to gain experience with these industry-standard tools and more easily design, implement, and adjust simulation models in their particular field of study.

More universities are offering courses—as well as masters and Ph.D programs—in both continuous-time and discrete-time simulation, promoting a new interdisciplinary focus that appeals to undergraduates and beginning graduates from a wide range of fields. Ideal for such courses, this classroom-tested introductory text presents a flexible, multifaceted approach through which simulation can play a prominent role in validating system design and training personnel involved.

    Process Systems Enterprise gPROMS v3.31

    Process Systems Enterprise gPROMS v3.31 | 130 MB

    gPROMS is the leading Advanced Process Modelling environment for the process industries. It can be applied across many application areas in all process sectors. gPROMS's process modelling, process simulation and optimisation capabilities are used to generate high-accuracy predictive information for decision support in product and process innovation, design and operation. It is applied by major process and technology organisations throughout the world, as well as for research and teaching at 200 academic institutions worldwide. gPROMS has many major advantages over other modelling systems on the market, resulting from its modelling power and the sophistication of the models it is possible to create.


    gPROMS is an equation-oriented modelling system used for building, validating and executing first-principles models within a flowsheeting framework.

    Models are constructed in the gPROMS ModelBuilder by writing down the fundamental chemistry, physics, chemical engineering, operating procedures and other relationships that govern the process or product behaviour.

    The resulting model is then validated against observed data — typically, laboratory, pilot plant or operating data — to adjust model parameters such as heat transfer coefficients to match reality as closely as possible.

    Of course, it is not necessary to create a model from scratch every time – you can use one of the many state-of-the-art gPROMS model libraries, or create your own library for publishing throughout your organisation.

    Solution accuracy – for multiple applications

    The first-principles approach combined with rigorous validation results in models of unprecedented accuracy.

    Once a model exists, it can be solved in many different ways to perform many different activities – for example, steady-state simulation, dynamic simulation, parameter estimation, model-based experiment design, steady-state and dynamic optimisation, including integer optimisation, or generation of linearised models for use in control and online optimisation, across the process lifecycle.

    This means that once you have invested in creating an accurate gPROMS model of your process you can use that model wherever it can generate value, to ensure multiple return on investment.

    Process Modeling, Simulation, and Control for Chemical Engineers

    Author : William L. Luyben Year : 2006
    In the area of process control, new methods of analysis and synthesis of control systems have been developed and need to be added to the process control engineer’s bag of practical methods. The driving force for much of this development was the drastic increase in energy costs in the 1970s. This led to major redesigns of many new and old processes, using energy integration and more complex processing schemes. The resulting plants are more interconnected. This increases control loop interactions and expands the dimension of control problems. There are many important processes in which three, four, or even more control loops interact.
    As a result, there has been a lot of research activity in multivariable control, both in academia and in industry. Some practical, useful tools have been developed to design control systems for these multivariable processes. The second edition includes a fairly comprehensive discussion of what I feel are the useful techniques for controlling multivariable processes.
    Another significant change over the last decade has been the dramatic increase in the computational power readily available to engineers. Most calculations can be performed on personal computers that have computational horsepower equal to that provided only by mainframes a few years ago. This means that engineers can now routinely use more rigorous methods of analysis and synthesis. The second edition includes more computer programs. All are suitable for execution on a personal computer.

    Modeling and Simulation of Systems Using MATLAB and Simulink

    CRC Press (12-2009) | PDF | 733 pages | 1439806721 | 14.9Mb

    Modeling and Simulation of Systems Using MATLAB and Simulink /by Devendra K. Chaturvedi. Not only do modeling and simulation help provide a better understanding of how real-world systems function, they also enable us to predict system behavior before a system is actually built and analyze systems accurately under varying operating conditions.

    Modeling and Simulation of Systems Using MATLAB® and Simulink® provides comprehensive, state-of-the-art coverage of all the important aspects of modeling and simulating both physical and conceptual systems. Various real-life examples show how simulation plays a key role in understanding real-world systems. The author also explains how to effectively use MATLAB and Simulink software to successfully apply the modeling and simulation techniques presented.
    After introducing the underlying philosophy of systems, the book offers step-by-step procedures for modeling different types of systems using modeling techniques, such as the graph-theoretic approach, interpretive structural modeling, and system dynamics modeling. It then explores how simulation evolved from pre-computer days into the current science of today. The text also presents modern soft computing techniques, including artificial neural networks, fuzzy systems, and genetic algorithms, for modeling and simulating complex and nonlinear systems. The final chapter addresses discrete systems modeling.

    Chemical Engineering Modelling, Simulation and Similitude

    A description of the use of computer aided modeling and simulation in the development, integration and optimization of industrial processes. The two authors elucidate the entire procedure step-by-step, from basic mathematical modeling to result interpretation and full-scale process performance analysis. They further demonstrate similitude comparisons of experimental results from different systems as a tool for broadening the applicability of the calculation methods.
    Throughout, the book adopts a very practical approach, addressing actual problems and projects likely to be encountered by the reader, as well as fundamentals and solution strategies for complex problems. It is thus equally useful for student and professional engineers and chemists involved in industrial process and production plant design, construction or upgrading.
