M. – Nonlinear control for infinite-dimensional process systems: fault-tolerant distributed application for heat exchangers. In 20th World Congress of the International-Federation-of-Automatic-Control (IFAC). Toulouse, France: IFAC Papersonline. 2017. ISSN 2405-8963. Vol. 50, N.º 1, pp. 6723-67282405-8963http://hdl.handle.net/10400.21/8222In this work a robust pointwise min-norm controller is developed as a stabilizing solution for a transport-reaction phenomena process, described by nonlinear partial differential equations. The control solution is further combined with adaptation for robustness to parametric uncertainty. The application of centralized and fault-tolerant distributed control versions is accounted for a countercurrent heat exchanger and documented in a series of simulations.engNonlinear model predictive control for distributed parameter systemsControl of heat and mass transfer systemsAdaptive controlDistributed controlPointwise min-norm controlconference object10.1016/j.ifacol.2017.08.1170
