Investigation of a Frequency Domain Identification Technique for Distributed Parameter System

Abstract

Often in process simulation studies and process control it is desirable to have an approximate transfer function that could be used for dynamic simulation via analog computer or for feedforward control algorithms. The scope of the work is concerned with developing a general analytical technique that can be easily implemented in obtaining approximate transfer functions for distributive parameter systems of the convective type, where the spacial dependence of the dependent variable is of little interest from a control viewpoint. This technique relies on a distributed parameter model that is transformed into ordinary differential equations in the frequency domain. These equations are then analyzed in the frequency domain using well known classical techniques. The frequency solution of the ordinary differential equation provides the necessary data to carry out regressions on the parameters of the postulated transfer function.
