<p> This report covers two topics. First is the development of computer programs to carry out the calculations needed to determine the control policy to bring a process from one set of steady state conditions to another. Examples of the implementation of control policies for a liquid-liquid extraction column are included. Suggestions have been made for means of decreasing the calculation time and for means of increasing the size of problem that may be solved. </p> <p> The second part discusses an initial project of using a Supernova computer as a direct control computer. Characteristics of direct digital control are illustrated using an analog simulation of the extraction unit as the controlled process. </p> / Thesis / Master of Engineering (MEngr)
