Abstract:
This research was done for temperature
control of a reactor with high thermal inertia. The reactor
chamber temperature is required to be critically controlled
at 3000C. A non-linear thermodynamic model was
developed, and process parameters were estimated to
comply with experimental data by numerical optimization.
In practice, a single sensor control system is the only
possible option for this reactor. Therefore, the cascade
controller was implemented with a predicted temperature
reading.
