This is a collection of class notes, handouts, homework assignments, and exam problems
developed over the past years teaching courses in Process Systems Engineering at the University
of South Carolina. Most of the material relates to ECHE 550, Chemical Process Dynamics
and Control. This course covers the basics of dynamic modeling, solution and analysis of ordinary
differential equations using Laplace methods, feedback control, and some advanced
control topics. Information is also included from other courses, specically ECHE 589 Intermediate
Process Control. The intermediate course includes more advanced topics, such as
numerical optimization and discrete time dynamic modeling.
