Control of a Chemical Reactor with Chaotic Dynamics

In this paper, control of a non-isothermal continuous stirred tank reactor in which two parallel autocatalytic reactions take place has been addressed. The reactor shows chaotic behavior for a certain set of reactor parameters. In order to control the product concentration, an optimal state feedback controller has been designed. Since concentrations of reactor species are ...

Dynamic Model of Single-reactor Chemical Looping Combustion

The paper presents a simplified model of chemical looping combustion in a fixed bed reactor under isothermal condition. Both reduction and regeneration phases of the oxygen carrier are modeled in the single reactor model under the hypothesis of discontinuous feed and simplified reaction kinetics. This model is meant to be the simplest possible formulation for a description that incorporates all...

Using cathode spacers to minimize reactor size in air cathode microbial fuel cells.

Scaling up microbial fuel cells (MFCs) will require more compact reactor designs. Spacers can be used to minimize the reactor size without adversely affecting performance. A single 1.5mm expanded plastic spacer (S1.5) produced a maximum power density (973±26mWm(-2)) that was similar to that of an MFC with the cathode exposed directly to air (no spacer). However, a very thin spacer (1.3mm) reduc...
