This paper presents a conception of an exponential observer for a class of linear distributed-parameter systems (DPSs), in which the dynamics are partially unknown. The given distributed-parameter observer ensures asymptotic state estimator with exponentially decay error, based on the theory of -semigroups in a Hilbert space. The theoretical observer developed is applied to a chemical tubular r...

The article presents an approach to design tubular reactors in recycle systems, based on non-linear analysis. A pseudohomogeneous plug-flow reactor model is used. It is assumed that the separation unit delivers product and recycle streams with fixed composition. The stand-alone reactor has a unique stable steady state. The coupled reactor /separation /recycle system shows four types of conversi...

Based on a global kinetics of direct dimethyl ether (DME) synthesis process from syngas, a steady-state one-dimensional mathematical model for the bubble column slurry reactor (BCSR) has been established. It was built on the assumption of plug flow of gas phase, sedimentation-dispersion model of catalyst grains and isothermal chamber regardless of reaction heats and rates for the design of an i...

Alkaline hydrolysis of ethyl acetate is essentially an irreversible and second order reaction. Industrial importance of the reaction product, sodium acetate, necessitate for process improvement in terms of maximum conversion and economical usage of raw materials. Statistical design of experiments was utilized to enhance conversion in both batch and plug flow reactors.A full two level factor...
