Continues Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR) is an important issue in chemical process and a wide range of research in the area of chemical engineering. Temperature Control of CSTR has been an issue in the chemical control engineering since it has highly non-linear complex equations. This study presents problem of temperature control of CSTR with the adaptive Controller. The Simulation is done in MATL...

Chemical reactors are often characterized by highly nonlinear behaviour. In such cases, the use of conventional control strategies where controllers have fixed parameters can result in poor performance. Knowledge about the static and dynamic properties is a necessary condition for the design of a controller. Unfortunately, measurements on the real system are not always feasible. The only way as...

Biodiesel or fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) synthesis from sunflower oil and methanol using an immobilized lipase, an example of a liquid-liquid solid reaction, was studied in batch and various continuous reactor set-ups including the use of a centrifugal contactor separator (CCCS). The latter is an example of a highly intensified device, integrating liquid-liquid reactions and subsequent phase...

Unfortunately, the major group of the systems in industry has nonlinear behavior and control of such processes with conventional control approaches with fixed parameters causes problems and suboptimal or unstable control results. An adaptive control is one way to how we can cope with nonlinearity of the system. This contribution compares classic adaptive control and its modification with Wiener...

We project a novel digital control law for continuous stirred tank reactors, based on sampled measures of temperatures and reactant concentration, as it happens in practice. The methodology of relative degree preservation under sampling is used. It is proved that a suitably approximated sampled system, obtained by Taylor series expansion and truncation, in closed loop with the projected control...

The complexity of large scale computational fluid dynamic simulations demand powerful tools to investigate the numerical results. Time surfaces are the natural higher-dimensional extension of time lines, the evolution of a seed line of particles in the flow of a vector field. Adaptive refinement of the evolving surface is mandatory for high quality under reasonable computation times. In contras...

The paper presents simulation results of the cascade control of a continuous stirred tank reactor. The control is performed in primary and secondary control-loops where the primary controlled output of the reactor is the concentration of a desired reaction product, and, the secondary output is the reactant temperature. A common control input is the coolant flow rate. The controller in the prima...
