This Indian adaptation of the fourth edition of the book, builds on the conceptual strength of the previous editions, with the focus on addition and reorganization of topics to make it a better-fit textbook for Indian Universities. It offers new and updated material on basic and advanced process control, particularly related to MATLAB® applications. Useful new key features are presentation of the entire text including solved examples and exercise problems in SI units and extensive use of MATLAB®/Simulink® to supplement standard hand-solved examples.
