Decoupling control of two CSTRs in series with a recycle stream was investigated on the basis of a linear time-varying time-delay model by which both nonlinearity and time-delay characteristics involved are simultaneously considered. Feasibility of decoupling control was theoretically examined first and then the effects of time-delays on decoupling control performance was investigated with the aid of digital simulations. Simulations confirmed that the design procedure used in this study is useful in attaining satisfactory decoupling control performance for a chemical reactor system in which not only strong process nonlinearity but significant time-delays may also exist.
