Process Design and Control Strategies for Enhanced Energy Efficiency and Productivity in the Process Industries: Progress Report for Period May 1983-December 1985

摘要

This report summarizes the results over the period May 1983 through December 1985. Significant progress has been made during this period and the research results are already being used by industry through the widespread acceptance of our Computer-aided control system design package, CONSYD. Areas of progress in improved process design include polymerization reactors and packed bed reactors, while research in process control system design has been progressing well for systems described by time delays, distributed parameter systems, nonlinear systems, and in adaptive control. In addition to the export of our results in CAD packages, the research results have also been disseminated through research papers, conference papers, short courses, and seminars.
