Abstract: “This paper deals with the temperature control of a shell and tube heat exchanger(STHE) using adaptive control. The parameters of the process are identified using Recursive least square algorithm. The control algorithm is based on the Linear Quadratic control method and the parameters of the controller are computed based on the pole placement method. 2DoF control structure is used for the controlling of process.”

Keywords: Adaptive control, Shell and tube heat exchanger, Servo response
