The thermal performance index (TPI) known as the efficiency parameter evaluates the
highlight of the heat transfer for the same pumping power requirement. The optimum design …

Plate heat exchanger takes an important role in the modern industrial engineering. For large
scale district heating system, plate heat exchanger is the key equipment in controlling the …

A design of the control of the internal fluid temperature at the outlet of a parallel-flow heat
exchanger by manipulating the inlet external fluid temperature is proposed. The dynamic …

In this paper we propose a robust control for the counter-current heat exchanger. By using
energy balance equations, we propose a model in structured bilinear system that allows to …

In recent years, application of advanced control, fault detection and diagnosis algorithms for
building heating and cooling systems has been intensively investigated with the aim to …

Results of transfer function analysis for a class of distributed parameter systems described
by dissipative hyperbolic partial differential equations defined on a one-dimensional spatial …

Compact heat exchangers have a wide range of applications where standard control
strategies typically rely on the knowledge of the heat transfer model and thus on the overall …

This paper presents the experiences from the practical implementation and the results of the
experimental validation of the balance-based adaptive control (B-BAC) methodology in the …

This paper discusses irrational transfer function representation for a typical thick-walled
double pipe heat exchanger. Closed-form analytical expressions for the individual elements …

There are different schemes based on observers to detect and isolate faults in dynamic
processes. In the case of fault diagnosis in instruments (FDI) there are different diagnosis …
