Surface quality and dimensional precision will greatly affect parts during their useful life especially in cases where the components will be in direct contact with other elements during their application. This paper deals with three soft computing techniques namely Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS), Neural Networks (NN) and regression in predicting the surface roughness in turning ...

This paper addresses the development of an efficient numerical output feedback robust model predictive controller for open-loop stable systems. Stability of the closed loop is guaranteed by using an infinite horizon predictive controller and a stable state observer. The performance and the computational burden of this approach are compared to a robust predictive controller from the literature. ...

Debutanizer column is an important unit operation in petroleum refining industries. The design of online composition prediction by using neural network will help improve product quality monitoring in an oil refinery industry by predicting the top and bottom composition of n-butane simultaneously and accurately for the column. The single dynamic neural network model can be used and designed to o...

<span>The energy efficiency in the debutanizer reboiler combustion can be monitored from oxygen content of flue gas reboiler. The measurement conducted situ using an sensor. However, soot that may appear around sensor due to process obstruct sensor’s function. In-situ redundancy sensors’ unavailability is a significant problem when damaged, so measures must made directly by workers portab...

This work is an attempt to illustrate the usage and effectiveness of soft computing techniques in the estimation and control of multi input and multi output systems. This paper focuses on neuro-fuzzy system ANFIS (Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference system). An Adaptive Network based Fuzzy Interference System architecture extended to cope with multivariable systems has been used. The performance of ...

Sensor networks have become an important source of data with numerous applications in monitoring various real-life phenomena as well as industrial applications and traffic control. However, sensor data are subject to several sources of errors as the data captured from the physical world through these sensor devices tend to be incomplete, noisy, and unreliable, thus yielding imprecise or even in...

This paper presents a comparative analysis for stabilization and control of highly non-linear, complex and multi-variable Double Inverted Pendulum on cart. A Matlab-Simulink model of DIP has been built using governing mathematical equations. The objective is to control both the pendulums at vertical position while cart is free to move in horizontal direction. The control of DIP was achieved usi...

Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) process is a vital unit to produce gasoline. In this research, a feed forward ANN model was developed and trained with industrial data to investigate the effect of operating variables containing reactor temperature feed flow rate, the temperature of the top of the main column and the temperature of the bottom of the debutanizer tower on quality and quantity of...
