This article investigates the modeling of mixing phenomena occur at unsteady stirring conditions in that agitated vessels. In particular, a new model of a torus reactor including a well-mixed zone and a transport zone is proposed The originality of the arrangement of ideal reactors developed here is due to the time-dependent location of the boundaries between the two zones. This concept is appl...

This paper presents the application of direct model reference adaptive control (DMRAC) on a nonlinear model of coupled-tank liquid level control system through simulation. The coupled-tank liquid level control system is regarded as the relevant plant to emulate the process control in petrol and chemical industries. The processing plants in these industries largely involve in controlling the liq...

Herbicides are usually applied multiple times by growers for season long weed control in Florida citrus (Citrus sp.). Rimsulfuron, a sulfonylurea herbicide has been recently registered for control of certain grasses and broadleaf weeds in citrus. To increase the weed control spectrum and reduce application cost, citrus growers often prefer to tank mix herbicides. Field experiments were conducte...
