An inferential control methodology, that utilizes an artificial neural network (ANN) estimator for a model predictive controller (MPC), is developed for an industrial multicomponent distillation column. In the control of product compositions by a feedback control system, because of the difficulty of on-line measurements of compositions, temperature measurements can be utilized. The selection of the temperature measurement points for the inferential control is done by the help of singular value decomposition (SVD) analysis together with column dynamics information. A moving window ANN estimator is designed to estimate the product compositions from tray temperature measurements. The composition predictions are further corrected with the actual composition data in 30-min intervals. A multi input multi output (MIMO) MPC is used with the developed ANN estimator for the dual composition control of the column. The performance of the developed control system utilizing ANN estimator is tested considering set-point tracking and disturbance rejection performances for the unconstrained and constrained cases. It is observed that the controller utilizing ANN estimator is as good as the controller utilizing direct composition values.

Model Predictive control(MPC)performance for controlling reaction systems Aşar, Işık; Özgen, Canan; Department of Chemical Engineering (2004) In this study, the performance of the Model Predictive Controller (MPC) algorithm is investigated in two different reaction systems. The first case is a saponification reaction system where ethyl acetate reacts with sodium hydroxide to produce sodium acetate and ethanol in a CSTR. In the reactor, temperature and sodium acetate concentration are controlled by manipulating the flow rates of ethyl acetate and cooling water. The model of the reactor is developed considering first principal models. The experimen...
An artificial neural network estimator design for the inferential model predictive control of an industrial multi-component distillation column Bahar, Almila; Özgen, Canan; Department of Chemical Engineering (2003) An inferential control methodology, that utilizes an artificial neural network (ANN) estimator for a model predictive controller, is developed for an industrial multi-component distillation column. In the column, propane and butane is separated from a mixture of propane, n-butane, i-butane, and i-pentane with a top product purity of 96% propane and a bottom product purity of 63% n- butane. Dual composition control of the column must be used in a multivariable model predictive controller for an efficient ope...
Numerical simulation of laminar reaction flows Tarhan, Tanıl; Selçuk, Nevin; Department of Chemical Engineering (2004) Novel sequential and parallel computational fluid dynamic (CFD) codes based on method of lines (MOL) approach were developed for the numerical simulation of multi-component reacting flows using detailed transport and thermodynamic models. Both codes were applied to the prediction of a confined axisymmetric laminar co-flowing methane-air diffusion flame for which experimental data were available in the literature. Flame-sheet model for infinite-rate chemistry and one-, two-, and five- and ten-step reduced fi...
FINITE VOLUME SIMULATION OF 2-D STEADY SQUARE LID DRIVEN CAVITY FLOW AT HIGH REYNOLDS NUMBERS YAPICI, KERİM; Uludağ, Yusuf (FapUNIFESP (SciELO), 2013-10-01) In this work, computer simulation results of steady incompressible flow in a 2-D square lid-driven cavity up to Reynolds number (Re) 65000 are presented and compared with those of earlier studies. The governing flow equations are solved by using the finite volume approach. Quadratic upstream interpolation for convective kinematics (QUICK) is used for the approximation of the convective terms in the flow equations. In the implementation of QUICK, the deferred correction technique is adopted. A non-uniform st...
