Fuzzy logic modelling tracer response in milli torus reactor under aerated and non-aerated conditions

Abstract

The present paper aims at developing and modelling the dynamic process of tracer response in aerated and non-aerated conditions, using a fuzzy logic approach, for such case the milli loop geometry is operated under turbulent flow regime. An identification of fuzzy logic controller whose rules approximated the measured data is first developed. The second-order differential equation is used to identify significant parameters of fuzzy logic controller. A fuzzy model is built with multiple inputs, single output (MISO) non-linear dynamic system under Matlab ®/Simulink environment. The proposed technique takes into account the physical description of the tracer response curve. The selection of the variables and the shape of the membership functions are discussed. The results of the model are in good agreement with the experimental data.
