%0 Journal Article %T Time-Step Volume-Preserving Control of Chemical Reactors %A Jos¨¦-Manuel Zald¨ªvar ComengesFernanda Strozzi %J The Open Chemical Engineering Journal %D 2007 %I %R 10.2174/1874123100701010008] %X We present a general control and optimization strategy based on time-step state space volume control. This is performed by maintaining the divergence of the system close to zero. The on-line implementation is shown for batch chemical reactors and the simulated results are compared with a traditional control scheme. %U http://www.benthamscience.com/open/tocengj/articles/V001/8TOCENGJ.htm
