Notes:
By the use of an imperfectly mixed model developed for LDPE vessel reactors, we show that a linear controller cannot perform satisfactorily in the entire range of operating conditions of industrial interest. Based on the concept of reaction rate control, a novel controller is developed which provides satisfactory closed-loop dynamics independent of steady-state conditions. A nonlinear controller is shown to be more effective in avoiding reactor light-off.
