Learn About Analog Computers: Reprints from Hydrocarbon Processing
A collection of reprinted articles from Hydrocarbon Processing (Gulf Publishing, 1969) by Gadmon and Smith of the University of Maryland, covering analog computer theory and practice for chemical and petroleum engineers. Topics span from introductory component identification (potentiometers, high-gain amplifiers, integrators) through magnitude and time scaling, simulation of dynamic systems, nonlinear function generation, algebraic solutions, and hybrid computation. The series addresses practical programming and application to process engineering problems such as distillation, reactor optimization, and multi-tank dynamics.
