Applications of nonautonomous infinite-dimensional systems control theory for parabolic PDEs
DownloadFall 2013
Parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs) are used as models of transport-reaction phenomena in a variety of different industrial chemical and materials engineering processes, and can yield precise descriptions of process variables with complex temporal and spatially dependent system...

Estimation, Soft Sensing and Servo-control of Linear Distributed and Lumped Parameter Systems
DownloadFall 2021
State-of-the-art advancements in the realm of industrial process control and monitoring often require accurate descriptions of complex processes and their dynamical behaviours. Usually, many industrial processes are described by partial differential equations (PDE) or ordinary differential...

Implementation and Evaluation of Spatiotemporal Prediction Algorithms and Prediction of Spatially Distributed Greenhouse Gas Inventories
DownloadFall 2011
Growing environmental concerns require monitoring and modelling of greenhouse gases. These modelling efforts require processing of massive datasets in a timely fashion. This, in turn, can lead to feasibility problems when estimating values of missing data points. This thesis examines and compares...

Spring 2015
Distributed parameter systems (DPSs) are distinguished by the fact that the states, controls, and outputs may depend on spatial position. The certain class of dissipative DPSs includes many underlying chemical and mechanical spatiotemporal phenomena such as chemical reactions, convection and...

Model Predictive Control of Non-Isothermal Dispersive Chemical Tubular Reactors with Recycle Flow
DownloadFall 2020
Tubular reactors have widespread applications in petrochemical, biochemical and pharmaceutical unit operations. The design of a control law, which accounts for stabilization of the concentration and the temperature of the chemical component during the reaction in an isothermal/non-isothermal...
