Create a solid understanding of process dynamics. Provide the foundations of the modelling of process dynamics and establish the links for practical implementation of control strategies. &nbsp;Deliver the basics of model-based control and use it for controller tuning.</p></div> <p>LO 1. Explain the need for control for achieving process objectives and safety.</p><p>ILO 2. Demonstrate concepts relevant to chemical process dynamics and develop related modelling skills.</p><p>ILO 3. Link control related issues with the underlying mathematical formulations.</p><p>ILO 4. Develop practical control strategies for chemical processes allowing the design and appropriate tuning of the control systems.</p><p>ILO 5. Recognise different types of control designs in a variety of plants.</p><p>ILO 6. Use control software to design and tune practical control loop for realistic chemical plants.&nbsp;</p> <div><p style="margin-top:8px; margin-bottom:8px; text-align:justify">Lectures provide fundamental aspects supporting the critical learning of the module and will be delivered as pre-recorded asynchronous short videos via our virtual learning environment.</p><p>Synchronous sessions will support the lecture material with Q&amp;A and problem-solving sessions where you can apply the new concepts. Surgery hours are also available for drop-in support.</p><p>Students are expected to expand the concepts presented in the session and online by additional reading (suggested in the Online Reading List) in order to consolidate their learning process and further stimulate their interest to the module.</p><p>Study budget:</p><ul> <li>Core Learning Material (e.g. recorded lectures, problem solving sessions): 24 hours</li> <li>Self-Guided Work (e.g. continuous assessment, extra problems, reading): 44 hours</li> <li>Exam Style Assessment Revision and Preparation: 32 hours</li></ul></div><p>&nbsp;</p> 0 Other 100% <table class="Table" style="border-collapse:collapse; border:solid windowtext 1.0pt" width="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="border:solid windowtext 1.0pt; width:276.2pt; padding:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt" valign="top" width="368"><p align="center" style="text-align:center"><strong>Assessment Types</strong></p></td> <td style="border:solid windowtext 1.0pt; width:184.25pt; border-left:none; padding:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt" valign="top" width="246"><p align="center" style="text-align:center"><strong>Total Weighting</strong></p></td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border:solid windowtext 1.0pt; width:276.2pt; border-top:none; padding:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt" valign="top" width="368"><p>Continuous assessment</p></td> <td style="border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt; width:184.25pt; border-top:none; border-left:none; border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt; padding:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt" valign="top" width="246"><p align="center" style="text-align:center">30%</p></td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border:solid windowtext 1.0pt; width:276.2pt; border-top:none; padding:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt" valign="top" width="368"><p>Exam style assessments</p></td> <td style="border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt; width:184.25pt; border-top:none; border-left:none; border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt; padding:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt" valign="top" width="246"><p align="center" style="text-align:center">70%</p></td> </tr> </tbody></table><p>Please note that the exam style assessments weighting may be split over midterm and end of semester exams.</p> <p>Feedback on problems and examples, feedback on coursework and exams, and model answers will be provided through the virtual learning environment.
