Parent topics

  • Engineering [r]: a branch of engineering that uses chemistry, biology, physics, and math to solve problems involving fuel, drugs, food, and many other products. [e]

Subtopics

Other related topics

  • Closed loop control [r]: A control system in which the controller has access to signals containing information about the current state of the plant (the object or system to be controlled) during the time that the controller is in operation. [e]
  • Control system [r]: An interconnection between two systems that are referred to as the plant and the controller. [e]
  • Control valve [r]: A valve used within an industrial plant or elsewhere to control operating conditions such as pressure, temperature, liquid level and flow rate by fully or partially opening or closing in response to signals received from controllers that compare a "setpoint" to a "process variable" whose value is provided by independent sensors that monitor changes in such conditions. [e]
  • Open loop control [r]: A control system in which the controller has no access to signals containing information about the current state of the plant (the object or system to be controlled) during the time that the controller is in operation. [e]
  • Process design [r]: The design of industrial chemical engineering processes to produce desired physical and/or chemical transformation of substances. [e]
  • Relief valve [r]: Type of valve used to protect pressure vessels and other equipment from being subjected to pressures that exceed their design limits. [e]
