“…For instance, the thermal hydraulic parameters of a reactor depend on the heat capacity of coolant (µ c ), the mass flow rate of coolant (M c ), and the heat transfer coefficient (Ω) between fuel and coolant which vary linearly with operating power level as follows [37]: The variation in parameters is considered as modelling uncertainties [37], [43]. In the literature, [20]- [22], [52]- [54], sinusoidal and chirp type of signals are considered to test the robustness of controllers and the same types have been adopted here. Here, a chirp signal is taken as a matched disturbance (σ 1 (t)) and a sinusoidal signal is taken as an unmatched disturbance (σ 2 (t)).…”
