6 TKP10 Process Control, Advanced Course Lecturer: Professor Sigurd Skogestad Learning outcome : Be able to design plantwide control system Content: Control structure design for complete chemical plants. Selection of controlled variables (self-optimizing control). Consistent inventory Control. Regulatory control. Tuning of PID controllers. Multivariable control. Decentralized control. RGA. Introduction to MPC. Use of dynamic simulators. Teaching activities: Lectures, computer simulation. exercises. Course material: Copies from scientific papers and books including Chapter 10 in Skoegstad and Postlethwaite, "Multivariable Feedback Control, Wiley, 2010

7 TKP11 Advanced Process Lecturer: Professor Heinz Preisig Simulation Contents: Simulators solve sets of equations representing the behaviour of plants, namely mathematical models for the plant. The topic of the course is to shed some light on what is under the hood of these simulators. The subject is extended by optimisers which are superimposed on the simulators upwards and physical property interfaces downwards. The course touches on the theoretical subjects associated with the methods used in simulators and optimisers, such as graph theory for the representation of networks, sequential modular approaches and simultaneous equation approaches and possibly integrators. Course form: Lectures, tutorials and project. The course is largely project oriented. Prerequisites: Course in numerics, optimisation and preferably TKP4135 Chemical Process Systems Engineering Compulsory activities: exercises, presentations, project work

8 TKP12 Thermodynamics, Advanced Course Lecturer: Associate professor Tore Haug-Warberg Content: Thermodynamic methods (Euler functions and Legendre transformations) with applications to thermodynamic state theory. Systematic derivation of basic equations in canonical state variables. Conservation principles of mass and energy used in the analysis of practical problem solutions connected to phase and reaction equilibria. Introduction to thermodynamic modelling. The course is adapted to individual needs if feasible (more weight on the modelling and less weight on the problem analysis, or vice versa). Teaching activities: Regular teaching and colloquiums. Course material: Lecture notes and copies of articles.

9 TKP13 Feedback systems in biology Lecturer: Associate Professor Nadi Skjøndal-Bar Aim of the course: To present the concept of feedback in relation to biological intra- and intercellular processes Prerequisites: TKP4140 process control or equivalent knowledge in control Module description: The concept of feedback is well known from control theory, and is quite abundant in biology. Concept of negative and positive feedback inside the cells and in genetic circuits. Cellular response to combinations such as negative-negative, positive-negative feedback structures Oscillations and bi-stability Effect of feedback on the evolution of species. Teaching methods: Seminars, self study, exercises/project work with presentations. Course material: Articles and excerpts from textbooks.
