A Comparison of Different Controllers to Control Various Parameters of Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor

Abstract

Control of various parameters in a chemical plant is one of the major challenges in industry. This thesis considers a chemical reactor, and controls various parameters of the reactor using different controllers. The thesis also compares the performance of different controllers by time domain analysis like transient response and error analysis. The thesis models the chemical reactor, implements PID controller, feedback and feed forward controller, hybrid fuzzy controller to control various parameters of the chemical reactor.
