Protecting Our Investment: Solving Fast Response Cutter Corrosion
The USCG Fast Response Cutter (FRC) fleet is experiencing corrosion at an alarming rate in the propulsion shaft tunnels. An investigation into this problem was conducted from the perspectives of “root cause” and “prevention.” Root causes for the corrosion stem from an interaction in a complex, …

Control strategies for exothermic batch and fed-batch processes A sub-optimal strategy is developed which combines fast response with a chosen control signal safety margin. Design procedures are described and results compared with conventional control.
… permitting a small runaway has resulted in a fast temperature response within the given safety margin. The Idea was employed for an exothermic single Irreversible reaction and also to a set of complex reactions. Both are carried out in a vessel with a heating/cooling coil. Two constraints are …
