Realistic models of typical industrial processes are essential for effective and practice‐oriented education and research in process control This paper presents two mechanistic models of an industrial five‐effect evaporator system, and also indicates their potential applications in process control‐related research and training Simulation programs for these models in four different platforms (viz, MAPLE, MATLAB, Simulink and C++) are developed Relative merits and application‐specific usefulness of these four platforms in process control studies are discussed
