The optimal design of extractive distillation process is established to achieve minimum energy requirement using the multi-objective genetic algorithm, and the results show that energy saving for this heat integration process is 15.7%. Finally, the control design is performed to investigate the system's dynamic performance, and three control structures are studied. The pressure-compensated temperature control scheme is proposed based on the first two control structures, and the dynamic responses reveal that the feed disturbances in both flow rate and benzene composition can be mitigated well.展开更多

Rated settings of the controller by two criteria, the error between output and reference signals and control moves, are listed on the pareto surface. Appropriate setting can be chosen under a balance between two criteria for different control purposes. A controller tuning problem for a plant with high order and time delay is chosen as an example. Simulation results show that the method of MOGA is more efficient compared with traditional tuning methods.展开更多

A strict mosaic imaging model of ray trace and the velocity vector mapping are built according to the strip mosaic imaging principle and the relationship between imaging target and the camera focal plane. The three-axis attitude is deduced based on the principle of optimal tracking of the maneuvering path. Finally, the geometric scaling simulation is carried out through the time delayed and integration(TDI) charge coupled device(CCD) prototype system, satellite attitude control physical simulation platform and the LED earth target simulator. The experimental results show that the algorithm could realize the matching band seamless splicing imaging of the target very well, confirming the correctness of the algorithm.展开更多
