BEYOND STEP TESTING AND PROCESS REACTION CURVES: INTRODUCING MEANINGFUL SYSTEM IDENTIFICATION CONCEPTS IN THE UNDERGRADUATE CHEMICAL ENGINEERING CURRICULUM

摘要

This paper describes efforts at Arizona State University to introduce substantive topics in system identification to undergraduate chemical engineering students. Specifically, the paper focuses on how system identification issues relevant to industrial practice have been incorporated into a simulated gas-oil furnace experiment that is part of a senior-level process dynamics and control course (ChE 461).
