A nonlinear state observer that uses the rate of heat generation due to chemical reaction for
the real-time evaluation of key parameters during free radical solution copolymerization is …

In this thesis, the real-time advanced process control of a continuous solution methyl
methacrylate polymerization reactor has been undertaken. Multi-loop adaptive and non …

The problem of controlling (possibly open-loop unstable) continuous free-radical solution
polymer reactors with temperature, level and flow measurements is addressed. The …

In this paper, linear parameter-varying (LPV) control is considered for a solution
copolymerization reactor, which takes into account the time-varying nature of the parameters …

Three factors are important in the development and implementation of successful control
strategies for copolymerization reactors: the availability of kinetic models which adequately …

For multiinput‐multioutput nonlinear plants whose state‐feedback control problem is
solvable with complete or partial output linearization, the output‐feedback problem is …

In this paper a new approximation method for the synthesis of open-loop control systems in
batch and semibatch free radical copolymerization processes is presented. Being …

The proper implementation of advanced control schemes for complex chemical processes
heavily rely on the availability of appropriate mathematical models. The main objective of …

The continuous record of monomer and polymer concentrations, C m and C p, and
cumulative weight-average mass, M w, furnished by automatic continuous online monitoring …

An adaptive controller with improved stability and robustness features that account for
unmodeled dynamics and unmeasured disturbances is applied to the control of monomer …
