A CLOSED LOOP APPROACH TO TANK REACTOR MODEL SIMPLIFICATION

A Closed Loop Approach to Tank Reactor Model Simplification

Stirred tank reactors are widely used in the chemical process industry and in many of them there are problems and constraints related to the temperature control. In order to achieve a model suitable for temperature control of such a system a number of ad hoc assumptions and approximations are generally made. Here, a method to systematically evaluate the validity of such simplifications based on...

Knowledge representation approach to closed loop control system - a tank system case-study

Control engineering problems are dealt within a plethora of methods and approaches depending on the a priori knowledge, the description of the process to control, and the main control goal. Classical control theory is mainly based on properties of numerical models. This paper presents an approach that applies to a class of processes described by numerical and logical relations using inference a...

Model structure simplification of a biological reactor

A comparative approach to closed-loop computation.

Neural computation is inescapably closed-loop: the nervous system processes sensory signals to shape motor output, and motor output consequently shapes sensory input. Technological advances have enabled neuroscientists to close, open, and alter feedback loops in a wide range of experimental preparations. The experimental capability of manipulating the topology-that is, how information can flow ...

A Multi-Objective Fuzzy Approach to Closed-Loop Supply Chain Network Design with Regard to Dynamic Pricing

During the last decade, reverse logistics networks received a considerable attention due to economic importance and environmental regulations and customer awareness. Integration of leading and reverse logistics networks during logistical network design is one of the most important factors in supply chain. In this research, an Integer Linear Programming model is presented to design a multi-layer...
