The advanced control of stirred tank reactors can be based on models which contain
exclusively the conservation equations of energy and species, without using further …

The increasing demand for the production of polymers with prespecified properties has
placed great emphasis on the development of accurate and robust instruments for the on …

The increasingly more aggressive global competition for the production of higher-quality
products at lower costs, along with a general trend away from new capital investments in the …

A control system is designed for a copolymerization reactor using a combination of
feedforward, ratio, and feedback control to regulate polymer production rate, copolymer …

The industrial diversity of fixed bed reactors offers a challenging and relevant set of control
problems. These intricate problems arise due to the rather complex dynamics of fixed bed …

Presenting strategies in control policies, this text uses a systems theory approach to predict,
simulate and streamline plant operation, conserve fuel and resources, and increase …

A finite dimensional nonlinear observer is constructed to provide an exponentially
convergent estimate of reactant concentration from temperature measurements in an …

A detailed mathematical model is presented for the solution copolymerization of methyl
methacrylate and vinyl acetate in a continuous stirred tank reactor. Kinetic parameters and …

A new method of on-line parameter estimation for a class of nonlinear systems is presented
in this paper. The parameter estimator includes a left inverse of process model and at each …

A stable nonlinear adaptive observer is constructed to estimate reactant composition and
uncertain model parameters from temperature measurements in an exothermic stirred tank …
