Process Dynamics

The document describes a scenario of sitting by a fire on a cold winter evening and feeling uncomfortably cold, so throwing another log on the fire. It then asks questions to test understanding of process control concepts like process and manipulated variables, set points, open and closed control loops, transducers, transmitters, final control elements, and proportional-derivative controllers.
