โœฆ Synopsis

A system comprising a steam heated exchanger through which fluid is pumped into a tank containing a steam heating coil has been constructed. This system has been modelled and the optimal charge rate to bring the tank IO known conditions of mass and temperature in minimum time has been calculated by use of Pontryagin's maximum principle.

The optimal policies calculated in this way have been implemented on the experimental equipment and comparisons with an equivalent constant charge rate made.

Time advantages up to nearly 20% have been achieved over the constant charge rate by use of the optimal policy.

The optimal control of a class of linear deterministic time-invariant multi-dimensional distributed systems is considered. The unconstrained optimal control problem is formulated as a quadratic minimisation in a real Hilbert space. A conjugate gradient minimisation technique is employed in its solut
