Abstract
While in the first paper of this series of two, optimal jacket fluid temperature control profiles have been derived for a family of dispersive tubular chemical reactors, the performance of these optimal profiles is further assessed in this second part. First, the performance of the optimal bang-bang control is compared with that of a more easily implementable constant jacket fluid temperature and secondly, the transient behaviour is studied, when the steady-state optimal control law is applied from the reactor start-up.
