Abstract Integration of reaction and separation is attractive in production biobased oligomers short polymers from polysaccharides proteins via catalytic degradation. The challenge lies controlling the molar mass distribution. Theoretical analysis for process integration performed conventional CSTR, a multifunctional reactor, reactor-separator-recycle processes. Closed-form solutions balance eq...

In this paper an infinite-dimensional LQR control-based design for a system containing linear hyperbolic partial differential equations coupled with linear ordinary differential equations is presented. The design is based on an infinite-dimensional Hilbert state-space representation of the coupled system. The feedback control gain is obtained by solving algebraic and differential matrix Riccati...

Motivated by the need of developing stochastic nonlinear model-based methods to characterize uncertainty for chemical process estimation, control, identification, and experiment design purposes, in this paper the problem of characterizing the global dynamics of single-state nonlinear stochastic system is addressed. An isothermal CSTR with Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetics is considered as represent...

We study the behavior of max-algebraic powers of a reducible nonnegative matrix A ∈ Rn×n + . We show that for t ≥ 3n2, the powers At can be expanded in max-algebraic sums of terms of the form CStR, where C and R are extracted from columns and rows of certain Kleene stars, and S is diagonally similar to a Boolean matrix. We study the properties of individual terms and show that all terms, for a ...

In the last decades, a substantial amount of research has been carried out on identification of nonlinear processes. Dynamical systems can be better represented by nonlinear models, which illustrate the global behavior of the nonlinear process reactor over the entire range. CSTR is highly nonlinear chemical reactor. A compact and resourceful model which approximates both linear and nonlinear co...
