Receding horizon control for mass transport phenomena in thermal fluid systems

Abstract

This paper examines the control problem of mass transport phenomena in thermal fluid systems. The system model considered here is described by the momentum, continuity, energy and mass transport equations. Receding horizon control is one of the most successful control methodologies because of its applicability to a wide range of applications. The objective in this study is to propose a design method of receding horizon controller for mass transport phenomena in thermal fluid systems. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by numerical simulations.
