Jk. Bandyopadhyay et al., STABILIZING THE OPERATION OF A NONISOTHERMAL CSTR - A MODEL STUDY USING A SINGLE-VARIABLE NONLINEAR CONTROLLER, Chemical Engineering Science, 48(20), 1993, pp. 3545-3553
A nonlinear control law based on internal model control incorporating
an adaptive mechanism is obtained for a three-dimensional nonisotherma
l consecutive 'reaction in a CSTR. This model system provides typical
process situations requiring servo and regulatory control in the prese
nce of load disturbance, noise, process-model mismatch and determinist
ic chaos. The performance of the controller is validated by simulation
studies.
