Abstract
This paper investigates the application of model predictive control (MPC) for regulating the thermal effects of an atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ). The control objective is to deliver a predetermined thermal dosage to a target surface without inducing any thermal damage. To this end, a nonlinear thermal model is developed for the APPJ under study, and a MPC strategy is designed through repeated linearization of the nonlinear model along the operating trajectory. The performance of the MPC strategy is demonstrated in simulations.
