Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR) is one of the common reactors in chemical process and all industrial process requires a solution of specific chemical strength of chemicals considered for analysis. In this paper, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm based PID controller tuning is attempted for the concentration control of Continuous Stirred tank reactor (CSTR). The Modeling can be ...

DSC analysis is conducted to obtain kinetic information of the chain addition copolymerization in bulk of a quad-monomer acrylic system. The experimental variables include reaction temperature, type of peroxide and peroxide concentration. By assuming that the copolymerization is a simple reaction, the approximate apparent order of the reaction can be identified; and along with the heat of react...

Stereo depth estimation is of great interest for computer vision research. However, existing methods struggles to generalize and predict reliably in hazardous regions, such as large uniform regions. To overcome these limitations, we propose Context Enhanced Path (CEP). CEP improves the generalization robustness against common failure cases solutions by capturing long-range global information. W...

Continuous processes offer more environmentally friendlier beer production compared to the batch production. However, continuous of mashing has not become state-of-the-art in brewing industry. The controllability and flexibility this process still hurdles for practical implementation, but which are necessary react changing raw materials. Once overcome, a can be efficiently adapted Both mean res...

Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a bioprocess that is commonly used to convert complex organic wastes into a useful biogas with methane as the energy carrier. Increasingly, AD is being used in industrial, agricultural, and municipal waste(water) treatment applications. The use of AD technology allows plant operators to reduce waste disposal costs and offset energy utility expenses. In addition to tr...

A new fast defuzzification method is presented. It is based on estimating the centroid position by fitting the fuzzy output shape into one single triangle. In regard to the computational time, this method is comparable to the “Bisector” method and provides better dynamical behavior. This new method was tested to control a second order plant and a benchmark Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR).

This paper describes the GTH-CSTR systems developed for the Albayzin 2010 Speech Synthesis Evaluation. We have developed three different HMM-based systems to build synthetic voices in Spanish, using two hours of speech of a male speaker. We have improved our baseline system (GTHCSTR-2008) by using morphosyntactic features, iterative segmentation algorithms, enhanced feature analysis and speaker...

In this paper, we extend the MURM (Modified Universe Reaction Model) of a CSTR to a tubular reactor with axial dispersion. Furthermore, we use this mixing model to study the effort of the micromixing on the steady state multiplicity for an autocatalytical reaction of tubular reactor.

a fault-tolerant control (ftc) methodology has been presented for nonlinear processes being imposed by control input constraints. the proposed methodology uses a combination of feedback linearization and model predictive control (flmpc) schemes. the resulting constraints in the transformed process will be dependent on the actual evolving states, making their incorporation in the design context ...
