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...

Development of dynamic column breakthrough for multicomponent adsorption equilibrium and diffusion
DownloadFall 2022
Pressure and temperature swing adsorption processes are increasingly being designed and optimized computationally. The reliability of these predictions are highly dependent on the quality of the experimental equilibrium and kinetic data used in these simulations. Consistent experimental...

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...

Fundamental Insights into the Structure and Dynamics of Confined Substrates inside Silica Nanostructures, using a combination of Molecular Dynamics and Grand Canonical Monte Carlo Simulations
DownloadFall 2021
Condensed phase reactions in the presence of heterogeneous catalysts are widely performed for the conversion of biomass into useful intermediates and value-added products. Specifically, nanoporous catalysts have garnered interest for liquid-phase oxidation, hydrogenation, dehydrogenation and/or...

Non-linear reparameterization of complex models with applications to a microalgal heterotrophic fed-batch bioreactor
DownloadSpring 2010
Good process control is often critical for the economic viability of large-scale production of several commercial products. In this work, the production of biodiesel from microalgae is investigated. Successful implementation of a model-based control strategy requires the identification of a model...
