Abstract The performance of a chemical plant is highly affected by its design and control. A cannot be accurately evaluated without controls vice versa. To optimally address control simultaneously, one must formulate bi-level mixed-integer nonlinear program with dynamic optimization problem as the inner problem; this intractable. However, computing an optimal policy using reinforcement learning...

Abstract— The main aim of this study was to control the nonlinear process using multi-model PI controller. A multi model is developed for conical tank and it is validated against the real time setup conical tank process. A Multi model based PI controller is also developed, and implemented with realtime setup, and their performances are compared with that of the conventional controller of real t...

We investigate the innovation function of a think tank in the course of modernization of the German public sector. Our focus is on the framing strategy the think tank pursues in order to disseminate new knowledge. We select publications released by the think tank and conduct a textual analysis on them in order to reveal the frames for which they serve as vehicles. Three stages of the framing pr...

Three-dimensional tank in smooth tank is of concern in various engineering applications. Sloshing waves in moving tanks have been studied numerically, theoretically and experimentally in past several decades and many significant phenomena have been considered in those studies, especially the linear and nonlinear effects of sloshing wave with inviscid or viscid liquid in a tank. The reported stu...

Consider a rectangular tank containing an inviscid incompressible and irrotational 'uid. The tank is subject to a one-dimensional horizontal move (the control) and the motion of the 'uid is described by the shallow water equations. By means of a Lyapunov approach, control laws that stabilize the state of the 'uid–tank system are derived. Two classes of control are considered: full-state feedbac...
