Considering the effect of pulp chemistry during flotation on froth stability by Sheni, Nanji Ruth

“…Stability column tests were used to determine froth stability as a function of the dynamic stability factor (Barbian et al., 2005) and batch flotation tests were used to obtain the total water and solids recovered, the grades and recoveries of the valuable minerals as well as to determine entrainment. …”

Detailed model for robust feedback design of main steam temperatures in coal fired boilers by Polton, Cheriska

“…The main concepts, models and theories used in the development of this dissertation include: 1) A detailed thermo-fluid model developed using Flownex to have high fidelity models of the process under varying operating conditions. This model was used to test and evaluate the robust controller design. 2) System Identification in Matlab to construct mathematical models of dynamic systems from measured inputoutput data and identify linear continuous time transfer functions under all operating conditions [1]. 3) Quantitative Feedback Theory (QFT) to design controllers for an attemperator control system at various onload operating conditions. …”
