Design, set up and commissioning of a test facility for smokeless rich diesel combustion research by King, Timothy Cole

“…Low Temperature Combustion (LTC) is a strategy that harnesses the properties of exhaust gas, through the use of large quantities of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), to reduce the peak combustion temperatures below that favoured by the formation processes of oxides of nitrogen (Ox) and those of soot. …”

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. …”
