Modelling and dynamic feedback linearisation of a heat exchanger model

Abstract

In this paper, a nonlinear lumped approximation model of a heat exchanger is derived from first principles. The use of dynamic state feedback to achieve feedback linearisation of the nonlinear heat exchanger model is investigated. Necessary and sufficient conditions for feedback linearisability are derived. A simple example is presented to complement the theory.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
