Heat exchanger control: Performance of thermodynamics-based geometrical vs classical PID controllers

In this communication, a control problem based on thermodynamic principles is developed to control the output temperature of a heat exchanger in an experimental setup. The system is controlled through a nonlinear output error, which is proportional to the total entropy production within the heat exc...
