The principles, properties and applications of autothermal fixed-bed reactor concepts are
presented. First we focus on different reactor types for weakly exothermic reactions and …

The general Method Of Lines (MOL) procedure provides a flexible format for the solution of
all the major classes of partial differential equations (PDEs) and is particularly well suited to …

The design of an extended Luenberger observer is considered to solve the state observation
problem for semilinear distributed-parameter systems. For this, a backstepping-based …

Abstract Model reduction methodologies for the partial differential equations modeling
distributed parameter systems constitute an important first step in controller design. A …

Methods for one-parameter continuation and stability analysis of periodic solutions as well
as two-parameter continuation of Hopf and limit bifurcation points have been added to the …

As an integral part of an advanced process monitoring and control scheme, the
reconstruction of the spatial concentration, temperature, and pressure profiles of an oxygen …

State estimation is an important problem in distributed parameter system especially with
nonlinear dynamics in industrial process. An extended Luenberger observer based on the …

A nonlinear inferential cascade control strategy for a tubular fixed‐bed reactor with highly
exothermic reaction is presented. Tight control of exit conversion and stabilization of hot …

In order to transform the PDE and IPDE models into the required DAE model formulation,
Diva employs the “method-of-lines”(MOL) approach for one space coordinate. The wide …

The behavior of stationary and moving spatially‐periodic patterns in a simple cross‐flow
reactor was simulated and analyzed for a situation in which reactant is supplied …
