A New Approach to Controlling Thermal Processes

Roots and Wu (1967) established that meaningful models of common thermal processes (boilers without superheaters, furnaces, ovens, vats, kilns etc.) can be made from a cascade comprising an open-loop gain μ, a transit delay L, and a salient time constant T. They used this model to establish facile p...
