Abstract

Chemical reactors are widely used in pharmaceutical process industries. The temperature controller design is an essential part of heat exchangers (HE) design for such reactors. The goal of this research is to design and validate the Feed Forward (FF) temperature compensator for the stared tank chemical rectors. The aim is to analyze the impact of high turbulence (Gain) performance on step response. For temperature management, a transfer function (TF) control based on PI controllers is anticipated. The main purpose of the PI compensatory is to lessen the influence of rising time. The modeling and assimilation of the temperature control for the heat exchanger designs is proposed to be implemented in MATLAB using Simulink and soft computing-based analysis. The expected results of the step response of the temperature controller are plotted for HE designs. The two-point technique is also used to identify the model function and its parameters. Identifying the t1 and t2 points, which appear to contribute 28.3% and 60%, respectively, to the system’s maximum responsiveness. The variation in [t1 t2] is evaluated as valuable gain.
