Time minimal control of batch reactors
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 August 2002
Abstract
In this article we consider a control system modelling a batch reactor in which three species X1, X2, X3 are reacting according to the scheme X1 → X2 → X3, each reaction being irreversible. The control is the temperature T of the reactions or the derivative of this temperature with respect to time. The terminal constraint is to obtain a given concentration of the product X2 at the end of the batch. The objective of our study is to introduce and to apply all the mathematical tools to compute the time optimal control as a closed-loop function. This work can be used to optimize the yield of chemical batch reactors.
