São relatadas, pela primeira vez, a observação de oscilações periódicas, em reator agitado de fluxo contínuo (CSTR), para o sistema bromato-ácido oxálico-Ce(IV)-acetona-ácido sulfúrico. Identificou-se que a reação entre Ce(IV) e a acetona, até então não descrita na literatura e que ocorre antes dos reagentes serem adicionados ao reator, é um fator decisivo para o aparecimento de oscilações regu...

—The article deals with the cascade nonlinear control of a chemical continuous stirred tank reactor. The control is performed in primary and secondary control-loops where the primary controlled output of the reactor is a concentration of the main reaction product and the secondary output is the reactant temperature. A common control input is the coolant flow rate. The controller in the primary ...

This paper presents a comparative analysis of continuously stirred tank reactor (CSTR) control based on adaptive control and optimal tuning of PID control based on particle swarm optimization. In the design of adaptive control, Model reference adaptive control (MRAC) scheme is used, in which the adaptation law have been developed by MIT rule & Lyapunov’s rule. In PSO control parameters of PID c...

An adaptive version of growing and pruning RBF neural network has been used to predict the system output and implement Linear Model-Based Predictive Controller (LMPC) and Non-linear Model-based Predictive Controller (NMPC) strategies. A radial-basis neural network with growing and pruning capabilities is introduced to carry out on-line model identification. An Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) algo...
