Process Dynamics, Operations, and Control
MIT OpenCourseWare offers this chemical engineering course on how process systems behave over time and how engineers keep them under control. Lectures and notes cover modeling the static and dynamic behavior of chemical processes, then move into control strategies including feedback and feedforward structures applied to real process equipment like reactors, distillation columns, and heat exchangers. Materials include problem sets, exams, and course notes that walk through the mathematics of process modeling alongside the practical design choices engineers make when building control systems for industrial equipment. The course assumes some background in chemical engineering fundamentals and builds toward the kind of control-system design work done in process industries. As with other MIT OCW offerings, all materials are free to access, with no certificate offered, under a Creative Commons license.
