operation with one tank (b = 0.0) is desired. On the other hand, example 3 illustrates a process which requires a significant increase in the total reactor volume when b is changed, and consequently some balance between improved control and increased cost must be made. This example illustrates a case where the steady-state design criteria of minimum reactor volume and the dynamic design criteria of minimum values for the closed loop performance indexes are achieved at the two extremes of the ratio b.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
