This book provides a basic approach to understanding and effectively applying industrial process control based on the systems concept. It provides an overview of an operating system, then divides it into sections for individual discussion. It covers topics including the operating system, process control, pressure systems, thermal systems, and level determining systems. It also addresses flow process systems, analytical process systems, microprocessor systems, automated processes, and robotic systems.

With an applications-oriented approach to electrical distribution systems, this fully updated second edition covers all the critical aspects of power production, distribution, control, conversion and measurement. The authors place emphasis on real-world applications, examining system operations from a technician's point of view. The use of an ‘electrical power systems' model facilitates the reader's comprehensive understanding of electrical distribution, utilizing power distribution as a key starting point, and then applying that relationship to associated systems. A new final chapter emphasizes the economics of distribution systems, computer power requirements, and current environmental considerations.
