چکیده
A novel multivariable laboratory process that consists of four interconnected water tanks is presented. The linearized dynamics of the system have a multivariable zero that is possible to move along the real axis by changing a valve. The zero can be placed in both the lefr and the right half-plane. I n this way the quadrupletank process is ideal for illustrating many concepts in multivariable control, particularly performance limitations due to multivariable right halfplane zeros. Accurate models are derived from both physical and experimental data and multi-loop control is illustrated.

متن کاملInteraction bounds in multivariable control systems
Time-domain limitations due to right half-plane zeros and poles in linear multivariable control systems are studied. Lower bounds on the interaction are derived. They show not only how the location of zeros and poles are critical in multivariable systems, but also how the zero and pole directions in4uence the performance. The results are illustrated on the quadruple-tank process, which is a new...
متن کاملPlant-wide Simulation of an Integrated Zero-Emission Process to Convert Flare Gas to Gasoline
The Gas to Gasoline (GTG) process includes conversion of natural, flare, and associated gas into synthetic fuels that can be compositionally upgraded and adjusted into different useful hydrocarbon fuels including gasoline, liquid petroleum gas (LPG), and fuel gas. Commonly, the GTG process involves three stages: 1) Synthesis gas (syngas) production unit 2) Methanol production unit 3) Methanol t...
متن کاملA Review of Aerogel Applications in Adsorption and Catalysis
Aerogels are a special class of porous material, which have excellent physicochemical properties such as low density, high porosity, high surface area and adjustable surface chemistry. Aerogels were first prepared several decades ago, but never truly commercialized due to their high cost. Technological advancements in the production and quality of different types of aerogel cut costs down and m...

Introduction: Appropriate office workstation design and adjusted keyboard slope could prevent upper extremity musculoskeletal disorders caused by CTDs. The purpose of this study was to compare wrist and finger motion angles during typing in different workstations with different keyboard slopes. Methods: In this experimental study, 10 female typists of university workers were chosen randomly....
