Control and optimization of multiscale process systems

This book - the first of its kind - presents general methods for feedback controller synthesis and optimization of multiscale systems and illustrates theirapplications to advanced material and catalytic processes of industrial interest. The book demonstrates the advantages of these methods and discusses practical implementation issues to help researchers and engineers understand the development and application of the methods in greater depth. The methods are applied to various chemical processes - including different thin film deposition processes, an ion-sputtering process, and a catalytic CO oxidation process - ,and the motivation for addressing these control and optimization problems in the context of multiscale process systems is clearly provided. Control and Optimization of Multiscale Process Systems assumes basic knowledge of differential equations, probability theory, and control theory and is intended for researchers, graduate students, and process control engineers. First book published on the subject of control and optimization of multiscale process systems Includes new techniques for feedback controller design and optimization for multiscale process systems not included in other books INDICE: Introduction.- Multiscale Process Modeling and Simulation.- Control using Kinetic Monte Carlo Methods.- Construction of Stochastic PDEs.- Feedback Control using Stochastic PDEs.- Multiscale Optimization of Hybrid PDE/kMC Process Systems.- Dynamic Optimization of Multiscale PDE/kMC Process Systems.- References.- Index.
