Industrial applications of model predictive control rely mostly on linear empirical models obtained by employing time series analysis approaches. These models can quickly become obsolete and require maintenance when the operating conditions become significantly different from the design conditions. The need to generate good predictions in the face of changing operating conditions and / or plant characteristics can be fulfilled through updating the linear model parameters online. This work is aimed at the development of adaptive MPC (AMPC) scheme based on ARX models, which are parameterized using generalized orthonormal basis filters (GOBF). The proposed model structure, in addition to capturing the dynamics with respect to the manipulated inputs, facilitates modeling of stationary as well as non-stationary components of the unmeasured disturbances. The feasibility of using the proposed AMPC scheme is established by conducting experimental studies on a benchmark Heater-Mixer setup.

In this research paper the effect of blending ratio of natural rubber (NR) with Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) were investigated. Different samples of EPDM/NR ratio were prepared to study the variation of NR in EPDM on rheology, curing characteristics, tangent δ, and viscosity variation during vulcanization of sponge nano *** main aim of present research is to develop elastomeric based sponge composites with the blending ratio of base elastomers along with the carbon nano particles for high energy absorbing and damping applications. The curing characteristics, rheology and viscoelastic nature of the composite is remarkably influenced with the progressive blending ratio of the base elastomeric matrix.

PbS thin films have received considerable attention because of their potential applications in opto-electronics applications. Spontaneous reaction of lead acetate and thiourea in aqueous hydrazine hydrate has been used for depositing PbS thin films on glass substrates. Structural and optical properties of PbS thin films are greatly influenced by the morality of the reactants and crystal defects in the lattice. Our work focuses on the variation in lead ion concentration and its effect on the structural and optical properties of PbS thin films. The deposited films were analyzed using XRD, SEM, spectrophotometer and dark resistance measurement. XRD patterns indicated the formation of major phase of nano crystalline PbS with minor presence of lead oxide phase. We also noticed that peak intensity ratio of I111/I200 varied by changing the Pb ion concentration. The film thickness and dark resistance increased whereas optical band gap decreased with the decreasing Pb ion concentration. SEM scans showed that the grain size is less than 100 nm and is not affected by varying Pb ion concentration.

This paper is concerned with the modeling of both endpoint temperature and carbon content for BOF steelmaking. First, a linear regression predictive model is constructed based on the linear regression analysis method. Next, the response surface analysis method is used to construct a nonlinear predictive model. The significant contribution of this paper is that response surface analysis is proposed for constructing the predictive model of BOF steelmaking. Finally, experiment simulation results show the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed methods.

The conventional packed bed for post-combustion CO2 capture suffers from significantly high pressure drop whereas the fluidized bed finds problems in sorbent attrition and loss. So, there is a need of more reliable and efficient bed configuration, which can offer a lower pressure drop, fast mass transfer kinetics, high working capacity and improved thermal management. An alternative configuration to packed bed is sorbents placed in structured bed reactor. The major advantage of using structured bed for post-combustion CO2 capture is low pressure drop because of its straight gas flow channels. The hydrodynamics and external mass transfer can be optimized in this structured bed by adjusting channel size and channel shape, whereas the sorbent loading and/or internal mass transfer can be controlled by the thickness and structure of sorbent channel wall. The objectives of this investigation was to study the adsorption of CO2 from a flue gas in a structured bed loaded with amine functionalized SBA-15 sorbent and to understand the effect of various design variables such as sorbent bed diameter, channel spacing, membrane layer thickness, and flue gas volumetric flow rate etc. In the proposed structured bed, the solid sorbent is contained inside a porous alumina tubular membrane reactor (OD ∼ 4mm, ID ∼ 3mm and average pore diameter ∼0.8 micron) and CO2 laden bulk gas flows through the annular region. CO2 diffuses across the barrier layer and adsorbs preferentially on the solid sorbent. The equipment was designed and built to host single and multi-tube reactors with different lengths with minimum modification. The concentration of CO2 stream coming to and from the adsorption column was monitored as a function of time by a Pfeiffer mass spectroscopy (Model: OmniStar GSD 320). Each membrane tube was filled with approximately 0.2 g of 50 wt% PEI impregnated SBA-15 solid sorbent. Thermal swing adsorption cycles were initially tested at different temperatures for CO2 adsorption us

In this paper, a coordination control algorithm based on hierarchical scheme is presented to coordinate several non-linear model predictive controllers (NMPC) working in parallel, with an upper layer, where a price-driven coordination technique is used to drive the controllers in such a way that some global constraints are satisfied. To coordinate the lower layers, it is used a price-adjustment algorithm based on Newton's method, in which a reformulation of Fiacco's work is used in order to obtain the sensitivity analysis for a nonlinear system no matter the set of active constraints. The efficiency of the scheme is evaluated using a simulation of a four-tank benchmark.

The problem of designing an input to improve the detectability of faults has been addressed previously using both stochastic and deterministic formulations. This article presents a hybrid approach that provides a worst-case guarantee of diagnosis within a time interval [0,N], while maximizing the probability of diagnosis at some earlier time M < N. Compared to purely deterministic methods, this strategy reduces the average time required for diagnosis. Moreover, a high probability of diagnosis at M enables N to be chosen large, thus reducing the conservatism of the required input.

Low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) is a familiar method for thin film growing in semiconductor manufacture. The surface temperature of wafers is studied in this work which plays the most important role in impacting the film's thickness and roughness. The calculation of configuration factors which are the key varibles in LPCVD process thermal modeling is shown. Then, the two-dimensional dynamic model of temperature distribution of wafers is established by studying the radiation and conduction in the depositing furnace. The result of this simulation model is compared with which in reference article. Finally, the temperature distribution is controlled to keep it uniform by predict control designing.

A homogenous multi-unit auction model is studied in two conditions: One is that the bidders face budget constraints and another is that the bidders do not face budget constraints. Two equilibrium bidding strategies of each bidder are presented in these two conditions. By comparing them, the authors show that the equilibrium unit price bid in the presence of budget constraints will be less than that in the absence of budget constraints. The difference between the two equilibrium bids leads to the reduced revenue of the seller. And this difference will decrease as the number of the bidders increases.
