Problem Description

The system consists of a series of two CSTRs, where there is a transportation delay tau = 0.1 from the first tank to the second. A truncated Taylor series expansion for the time delay.

Find u over t in [0; 2 ] to minimize


subject to:



The state variables x1 and x3 are normalized concentration variables in tanks 1 and 2, respectively, and x2 and x4 are normalized temperature variables in tanks 1 and 2, respectively. The variable x5 is introduced to provide the performance index to be minimized.

The initial condition are:

Problem setup

toms t
p = tomPhase('p', t, 0, 2, 20);
setPhase(p);

tomStates x1 x2 x3 x4 x5
tomControls u1 u2

xi = [0.15;-0.03;0.10;0;0];

% Initial guess
x0 = {icollocate({x1 == xi(1); x2 == xi(2)
    x3 == xi(3); x4 == xi(4); x5 == xi(5)})
    collocate({u1 == 0; u2 == 0})};

% Box constraints
cbox = collocate({-0.5 <= u1 <= 0.5
    -0.5 <= u2 <= 0.5});

% Boundary constraints
cbnd = initial({x1 == xi(1); x2 == xi(2)
    x3 == xi(3); x4 == xi(4); x5 == xi(5)});

% ODEs and path constraints
R1 = (x1 + 0.5).*exp(25*x2./(x2 + 2));
R2 = (x3 + 0.25).*exp(25*x4./(x4 + 2));
f1 = 0.5 - x1 - R1;
f2 = -2*(x2 + 0.25) - u1.*(x2 + 0.25) + R1;
tau = 0.1;
ceq = collocate({
    dot(x1) == f1; dot(x2) == f2
    dot(x3) == x1-x3-tau*f1-R2+0.25
    dot(x4) == x2-2*x4-u2.*(x4+0.25)-tau*f2+R2-0.25
    dot(x5) == x1.^2+ x2.^2+x3.^2+x4.^2+0.1*(u1.^2+u2.^2)});

% Objective
objective = final(x5);

Solve the problem

options = struct;
options.name = 'Two Stage CSTR';
solution = ezsolve(objective, {cbox, cbnd, ceq}, x0, options);
t  = subs(collocate(t),solution);
x1 = subs(collocate(x1),solution);
x2 = subs(collocate(x2),solution);
x3 = subs(collocate(x3),solution);
x4 = subs(collocate(x4),solution);
u1 = subs(collocate(u1),solution);
u2 = subs(collocate(u2),solution);
