Intelligent Control in Drying

The first book to show benefits of intelligent control applications to drying processes, it gives an overview of control principles and systems, from classical model-based to adaptive and optimal control. The basic principles of intelligent control, such as fuzzy logic, neural networks, and evolutionary algorithms are discussed. Attention is paid to real-time control and dynamic optimization. Examples of intelligent control applications in various drying operations are presented. It covers fundamental and practical aspects of knowledge-based control, reasoning, expert systems, automation, artificial intelligence, computer vision, sensor fusion and operations research.
