✦ Synopsis
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 temperature are available the optimal path can be approached by a directional control. It would appear to be possible to overcome some of the severe difficulties that this study has brought to light in implementing the basically simple idea and to develop a fully adaptive control for the batch reactor along one of the several lines that are suggested.

A modified form of the Discrete Maximum Principle (DMP) is derived for systems with finite memory. It is shown that this form of the DMP may be used for the optimal control of nonlinear continuous dynamics systems, when the control policies are bound to be piecewise constant. In this case the modifi
This paper is concerned with the control of important polymerization properties in a batch solution polymerization reactor of methylmethacrylate. Properties such as weight average molecular weight or monomer conversion are controlled using an advanced adaptive pole-assignment controller whose perfor
Although reactant addition induces unavoidable temperature changes in semi-batch reactors, it is shown that adaptive-predictive techniques may offer a means of balancing them successfully. To this end, appropriate data filtering must be integrated to the estimation algorithm, so that parameters rema
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
