PROBLEM STATEMENT

Lots of refineries running towards the

conventional control system in the plant
process in which several of qualities had been
ignored.

Development of efficient control system requires

an accurate model with a complex model
equation.

A lot assumption has been made due to the

lacking of information about on the reaction take
places in the reactor.

OBJECTIVES & SCOPE STUDY

To develop a simulation model for CSTR by using fuzzy logic ( Matlab

Simulation ) specifically in finding its composition

To analyze and justify the effectiveness the fuzzy logic in CSTR by

comparing with the conventional control.

Conclusion :
system.
1. Fuzzy logic has given an excellent tracking and regulation of performance compared the others
2. It can address a complex control problems without having accurate model equation

PROJECT METHODOLOGY

By using the Matlab Simulation Software

To generate a sample of baseline or set point data to be tested and

used as benchmark later on.

These are the assumptions that has been made :

1.

Heat loss process negligible with constant mixture density and

The mathematical equation for CSTR
heat capacity

2.

All are being perfectly mixed

3.

The exit stream has same concentration and temperature with

entire reactor liquid

4.

Overall heat transfer constant with no energy balance

5.

The reactor is a flat bottom vertical cylinder and the jacket is

around the outside and the bottom

CONCLUSION

To develop a simulation model of CSTR non isothermal condition by

using the fuzzy logic ( Simulink, Matlab ) focusing on the composition in
the reactor based on the objectives given.

To study the effectiveness of the modern controls in CSTR and compare

which are the most efficient and stable

Can brings more benefits on the development of industrial process

control system
