چکیده

in this paper, optimization and control of a tubular reactor for thermal bulk post-polymerization of styrene have been investigated. by using the reactor mathematical model, static and dynamic simulations are carried out. based on an objective function including polymer conversion and polydispersity, reactor optimal temperature profile has been obtained. in the absence of model mismatch, desired product characteristic can also be obtained by applying the corresponding reactor wall or jacket temperature profile. to achieve this temperature trajectory, reactor jacket is divided into three zones and jacket inlet temperatures are used as manipulated variables. effectiveness of the proposed approach has been demonstrated through computer simulation. furthermore for a special case of model mismatch, a method has been proposed which results in a near optimal profile.

Simulation Of Adaptive Control Of A Tubular Chemical Reactor

The paper deals with continuous-time adaptive control of a tubular chemical reactor with the countercurrent cooling as a nonlinear single input – single output process. The nonlinear model of the reactor is approximated by an external linear model with parameters estimated via corresponding delta model. The control system structure with two feedback controllers is considered. The resulting cont...

Multiobjective optimization of an industrial styrene reactor

The paper describes a multiobjective optimization study for industrial styrene reactors using non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA). Several twoand threeobjective functions, namely, production, yield and selectivity of styrene, are considered for adiabatic as well as steam-injected styrene reactors. Pareto optimal (a set of equally good) solutions are obtained due to conflicting effect...

Styrene Maleic Anhydride Copolymerization in a Recycle Tubular Reactor: Reactor Stability and Product Quality

Ahstrct-Styrene maleic anhydride copolymers (SMACs) are of particular commercial and academic interest. The bulk copolymer&&ion reaction is characterized by a very fast reaction rate and an important gel effect. The copolymer has a strong tendency to be alternate when maleic anhydride is in excess. In order to obtain a copolymer with less than 50% of incorporated MA, a good quality of mixing mu...
