Dynamic system linear modeling

Transfer Functions and Block Diagrams A very convenient and compact method of representing the process dynamics of linear systems involves the use or transfer functions and block diagrams. A transfer func tion can be obtained by starting with a physical model as... 

Some attempts to exploit sensor dynamics for concentration prediction were carried out in the past. Davide et al. approached the problem using dynamic system theory, applying non-linear Volterra series to the modelling of Thickness Shear Mode Resonator (TSMR) sensors [4], This approach gave rise to non-linear models where the difficulty to discriminate the intrinsic sensor properties from those of the gas delivery systems limited the efficiency of the approach. 

Exercise 6. Show that the equilibrium point of the model defined by Eq.(34) and the simplified model R given by Eq.(35), i.e. when the dynamics of the jacket is considered negligible, are the same. Deduce the Jacobian of the system (35) at the corresponding equilibrium point. Write a computer program to determine the eigenvalues of the linearized model R at the equilibrium point as a function of the dimensionless inlet flow 4 50. Values of the dimensionless parameters of the PI controller can be fixed at Ktd = 1-52 T2d = 5. The set point dimensionless temperature and the inlet coolant flow rate temperature are Xg = 0.0398, X40 = 0.0351 respectively. An appropriate value of dimensionless reference concentration is C g = 0.245. Does it exist some value of 2 50 for which the eigenvalues of the linearized system R at the equilibrium point are complex with zero real part Note that it is necessary to vary 2 50 from small to great values. Check the possibility to obtain similar results for the R model. 

Other approaches to genetic networks include study of small circuits with either differential equations or stochastic differential equations. The use of stochastic equations emphasizes the point that noise is a central factor in the dynamics. This is of conceptual importance as well as practical importance. In all the families of models studied, the non-linear dynamical systems typically exhibit a number of dynamical attractors. These are subregions of the system s state space to which the system flows and in which it thereafter remains. A plausible interpretation is that these attractors correspond to the cell types of the organism. However, in the presence of noise, attractors can be destabilized. 

Since the orthogonal collocation or OCFE procedure reduces the original model to a first-order nonlinear ordinary differential equation system, linearization techniques can then be applied to obtain the linear form (72). Once the dynamic equations have been transformed to the standard state-space form and the model parameters estimated, various procedures can be used to design one or more multivariable control schemes. 

For start-up and disturbance simulations, the linearized model does predict an eventual return to the steady state around which the system was linearized. However, for step-input changes where the final steady state differs from the original, some minimal loss in accuracy is apparent in the final steady state reached using dynamic simulations of the linear model from the original steady state. This difficulty can easily be circumvented in the case of step changes by relinearizing about the new final steady-state conditions somewhere during the simulation. 

It is evident that, of the 30 modes of the full linear model (with N = 6), 18 are very fast in comparison to the remaining 12 (by 2 orders of magnitude or more). Thus direct modal reduction to a 12th-order model using Davison s method should provide good dynamic accuracy. However, by simply neglecting the non-dominant modes of the system, the contribution of these modes is also absent at steady state, thus leading to possible (usually minor) steady-state offset. Several identical modifications (Wilson et al, 1974) to Davison s... 

To best achieve the benefits of hybrid systems, improved dynamic system models are needed. Much of the opportunity for innovation and ultimate commercial success for this technology lies in the area of system dynamics and control. To achieve commercial success, it is critical that the technical issues surrounding system dynamics are identified. Dynamic models can play a helpful role in that regard. Chapter 9 describes dynamic modeling of the primary device, the SOFC itself. This chapter s section will expand on this to discuss a full non-linear hybrid system dynamic model. 

Typically, a non-linear system dynamic model is made up of individual lumped models of the components which at a minimum conserve mass and energy across the given component, but may also have a momentum equation if pressure drops must also be analyzed. For most dynamic problems of interest in hybrid studies, however, the momentum equation may be taken as quasi-steady (unless the solver requires the dynamic form to perform the numerical solution). Higher fidelity individual models or reduced order models (ROMs) can also be used, where the connection to the system model would be made at each subcomponent boundary. Since dynamic systems modeling is not as common as steady-state modeling, some discussion of modeling approaches will be given. There are two primary methods used to provide solutions for the pressure-flow dynamics of a system model. 

Considerable insight into the dynamic behavior of the system can be gained by exploring the effects of various parameters on a linearized version of the system equations. Dynamic features such as damping, speed of response, and stability are clearly revealed using a linear model. 

The linear model permits the use of all the linear analysis tools available to the process control engineer. For example, the poles and zeros of the openloop transfer function reveal the dynamics of the openloop system. A root locus plot shows the range of controller gains over which the system will be closedloop-stable. 

In a later section we show results of rigorous dynamic simulations of this process. However, it may be useful at this point to show the predictions of a linear model of this type of FEHE-reactor system. 

Kinetic models exhibit particularities that lead to rather invariant properties not found for dynamical systems in general. Before we discuss these, we remind the reader of the general description of the dynamics of a kinetic model (see also [47, 48]). The mass balances describing the rate of change in the concentrations of the variable molecular species in the network are linear combinations of the rates of the processes in the network, assuming the network can be modeled as a well stirred environment in the absence of noise. In matrix format this leads to ... 

Any trajectory can end when p - I at a stationary point (SP), in which all the right-hand parts of equations (5.2) equal zero. In the case of the terminal model (2.8) all such SPs are those solutions of the non-linear set of the algebraic equations (4.13) which have a physical meaning. Inside m-simplex one can find no more than one SP, the location of which is determined by the solution of the linear equations (4.14). In addition to such an inner azeotrope of the m-simplex, azeotropes can also exist on its boundaries which are n-simplexes (2 S n m - 1). For each of these boundary azeotropes (m — n) components of vector X are equal to zero, so it is found to be an inner azeotrope in the system of the rest n monomers. Moreover, the equations (4.13) always have m solutions x( = 8is (where 8js is the Cronecker Delta-symbol which is equal to 1 when i = s and to 0 when i =(= s) corresponding to each of the homopolymers of the monomers Ms (s = 1,. ..,m). Such solutions together with all azeotropes both inside m-simplex and on its boundaries form a complete set of SPs of the dynamic system (5.2). 

Few articles on receptivity present a qualitative view of particular transition routes created by not so well-defined excitation field (see e.g. Saric et al. (1999)). Such approaches do not demonstrate complete theoretical and /or experimental evidence connecting the cause (excitation field) and its effect(s) (response field). Here, a model based on linearized Navier- Stokes equation is presented to show the receptivity route for excitation applied at the wall. This requires a dynamical system approach to explain the response of the system with the help of Laplace-Fourier transform. 

Briefly, the discrete Kalman filter applies only to linear models whose behaviour can be coded by two equations describing the system dynamics (Eqn.(l)) and the measurement process (Eqn.(2)), respectively.
