About this title

Synopsis:

The latest update to Bela Liptak's acclaimed "bible" of instrument engineering is now available. Retaining the format that made the previous editions bestsellers in their own right, the fourth edition of Process Control and Optimization continues the tradition of providing quick and easy access to highly practical information. The authors are practicing engineers, not theoretical people from academia, and their from-the-trenches advice has been repeatedly tested in real-life applications. Expanded coverage includes descriptions of overseas manufacturer's products and concepts, model-based optimization in control theory, new major inventions and innovations in control valves, and a full chapter devoted to safety. With more than 2000 graphs, figures, and tables, this all-inclusive encyclopedic volume replaces an entire library with one authoritative reference. The fourth edition brings the content of the previous editions completely up to date, incorporates the developments of the last decade, and broadens the horizons of the work from an American to a global perspective.

Béla G. Lipták speaks on Post-Oil Energy Technology on the AT&T Tech Channel.

Review:

'Whether used as a text book by inexperienced engineers, or as a quick reference book for the experienced engineer - this book looks set to continue to be the main reference for the instrument engineer for the next decade - and at a realistic price which is better value today.'Control & Instrumentation
