The optimal control of a batch reactor often involves that the reaction should be conducted adiabatically at first. By taking observations during the adiabatic part of the reaction information about the kinetics of the reaction can be obtained and later used to program the heat control of the reacto

✦ Synopsis
A scheme for parameter estimation using data taken from the isothermal operation of the batch reactor is here given. It is shown that with suitable design it can handle realistic errors of measurement and give median times only 5-10 per cent in excess of the absolute minimum. The whole scheme is tested using Monte-Carlo type computations to establish confidence limits on the estimates of performance. A general design procedure for such an adaptive controller is given and further work discussed.

The problem of controlling the reactor to follow an optimal path calculated from the parameter estimates is considered. It is shown that the optimal path has an intrinsic stability which can be exploited in various ways to ensure near optimal control. When measurements of both composition and temper
In this paper, a digital PID controller, derived in the partial state reference model (PSRM) adaptive control spirit, is used to control the temperature in batch and semi-batch chemical reactors.This controller consists in the combination of a performance-oriented linear quadratic control design met
