Summary

"Proper control of any part of an engineering system requires an overall understanding of the system. This volume provides engineers with an accessible introduction to the modeling, analysis, control, instrumentation, and design of engineering systems. It presents a wide range of analytical techniques, computer tools, instrumentation details, and design methods; it also addresses important aspects of laboratory instrumentation; and provides practical applications of various models. A special chapter is devoted to control system instrumentation."--Pub. desc.
