Abstract
A system with varying transportation lags has been experimentally studied for modeling. Modeling is performed using a step test. The tracer is sodium chloride solution whose conductivity is measured using an online conductivity analyzer. Based on the step response, the model parameters are determined and the lag processes are represented by a first order plus dead time (FOPDT) model. For the models developed, an internal model control (IMC) scheme is designed. Performance comparison, based on rise time, settling time, and overshoot, is done among the designed IMC controllers, conventional PID controllers, and Smith Predictor controllers. The present study depicts that IMC controllers outperform PID and Smith Predictor controllers.
