 Bachelor's Research

1. Simulation and Control Study of Mixed Reactor (CSTR & PFR)

Objective

• To Control the temperature of exothermic reaction in jacketed CSTR using water as coolant

• To Optimize the reaction parameters to maximize yield

Approach

•  Designed a model in COMSOL to simulate the physical model to calibrate and troubleshoot

• Applied Mathematical modelling to design the MATLAB model and applied controllers on it

Results

• Used this system to increase stability and control actions in PDC LAB

• Decreased the energy consumption implementing this model

2. Comparative study of PID and Model Predictive controller on double pipe heat exchanger            

• Controlled the temperature of tube side fluid of double pipe heat exchanger with PID, MPC controllers

• Managed to reduce error by 5% by replacing resistance-based temperature sensor with voltage-based sensor

• Increased the efficiency of heat exchanger in terms of stability and response by implementing MPC controller

• Used COMSOL Multiphysics and ANSYS to design the Geometry of actual shell and tube Heat Exchanger           

3. User Controlled Automatic Immersion Rod      

• Developed an immersion rod with temperature controller that can be considered as product

• Embedded the LM35 temperature controller in traditional Immersion rod with minor deformation in shape

• Optimized the size of the temperature controller unit by using ARDUINO Nano at the place of UNO and LM35 sensor
