Cristallisation (chimie)vignette|Cristaux de sel obtenus par cristallisation lente dans une saumure à température ambiante. 250px|vignette La cristallisation est une opération unitaire du génie chimique consistant à isoler un produit sous forme de cristaux. La cristallisation est l’une des opérations physiques les plus anciennes pratiquées, avec l'évaporation de l’eau de mer pour isoler du sel.
Control loopA control loop is the fundamental building block of control systems in general industrial control systems and industrial control systems in particular. It consists of the process sensor, the controller function, and the final control element (FCE) which controls the process necessary to automatically adjust the value of a measured process variable (PV) to equal the value of a desired set-point (SP). There are two common classes of control loop: open loop and closed loop.
Physical propertyA physical property is any property that is measurable, involved in the state of a physical system, whose value represents the intensity on the object's state and behavior. The changes in the physical properties of a system can be used to describe its changes between momentary states. A quantifiable physical property is called physical quantity. Measurable physical quantities are often referred to as observables. Physical properties are often characterized as intensive and extensive properties.
