Abstract
We numerically analyzed the effect of control methods on 2-D temperature distribution in a vertical plate with varying noise-heat-generation at one corner to minimize the change of the temperature distribution. We studied three control methods: the control using internal heaters in the vertical plate, the control using rod-type lamp heaters, and the control using plate-type close radiators. The control heaters were divided into three zones and they were controlled using the PID control method with monitoring temperatures at three positions in the vertical plate. We found that the control using the close radiators is most preferable to minimize the 2-D temperature distribution in a vertical plate with varying noise-heat-generation. We also studied the effect of monitoring error on the change of the temperature distribution.
