| Summary: | Heat exchanger is a device that uses to thermal energy (enthalpy) between
two or more fluids, between a solid surface and a fluid, or between solid
particulates and fluid, at different temperatures and in thermal contact. A variety
of heat exchanger are used in industry and it classified according to transfer
process, number of fluids, degree of surface compactness, construction features,
flow arrangements, and heat exchanger mechanisms. One example of the
application that used heat exchanger is a pilot plant, which provides design and
operating information before construction of a large chemical plant. This heat
exchanger usually will be controlled by PID controller. PID controller also known
as conventional controller and can achieve good control performance with the
proper choice of tuning parameters. However, the control performance can
perform poorly and even become unstable, if improper values of the controller
parameters are used. The main objective of this project is to design and simulate
an advanced control strategy of heat exchanger pilot plant by using Fuzzy Logic
Controller (FLC). The development of the plant model will be based on a pilot
plant at Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP). While the development of the
controller and all simulation work will be based on MA TLAB simulation. The
aim is to improve the controller performance of pilot plant to become more
smoothly, efficient, and optimize the product yield. The expected result for this
project is to get the smooth process operation when using FLC compared to
conventional method (PID controller).
