Analog Computers in Process Design (Application Bulletin No. 3)

EAI Application Bulletin No. 3, authored by Charles W. Worley, demonstrates the use of PACE analog computers in the simulation and design of industrial process control systems. The bulletin covers analog circuit setups for pneumatic proportional-plus-reset controllers, heat exchangers, distillation column material balances, first-order chemical reactions, and catalytic reactors, with governing differential equations and corresponding computer patch diagrams for each. A reference table of PACE general-purpose analog computer component symbols is appended.
