Abstract
AbstractA Lyapunov-based MIMO state feedback controller is developed for slab temperatures in a continuous, fuel-fired reheating furnace. Following an early lumping approach, the computationally simple tracking controller is designed for a nonlinear, switched dynamic model that captures both conductive and radiative heat transfer. The controller modifies reference trajectories of furnace temperatures and is part of a cascade control scheme. Given some nonrestrictive conditions, exponential stability is ensured, even under non-steady state operating conditions. The capabilities of the controller are demonstrated by means of an example problem.
