Diagnosis Of Process Nonlinearities And Valve Stiction.
The Subjedt Matter Of The Book Is Concerned With The Detection And Diagnosis Of Process Nonlinearities From Routine Process Data.
In General, Processes Can Be Treated As Locally Linear And Measures Of Overall Process Performance Can Be Monitored From Routine Operating Data.
However When Process Action Is Not Satisfactory Then It Is Imperative That The Cause Of Poor Performance Be Diagnosed.
Poor Performance Can Be Due To Several Reasons.
Statis5ics Abound On The Cause Of Poor Control Performanc.
It Has Been Documented That As Many As 40% Of The Control Loops In Industry Perform Unsatisfactorily Because Of Valve Prblems, A Majority Of Them Due To Valve Stiction, Causing The Closed Loop System To Become Nonlineat.
The Development Of Signal Processing Methods To Detect And Quantify Process Nonlinearity From Routine Process Data Is The Main Subject Matter Of This Book.
