Controller Design for Temperature Control of Heat Exchanger System: Simulation Studies
Author:
Abstract: This paper analyzes the performance of different controllers such as feedback, feedback plus feed-forward and internal model controller to regulate the temperature of outlet fluid of a shell and tube heat exchanger to a certain reference value. The transient performance and the error criteria of the controllers are analyzed and the best controller is found out. From the simulation results, it is found out that the internal model control outperforms feedback PID and feedback plus feed-forward controller.
