Abstract:
Chaotic behavior takes place in different physical systems such as chemical reactors. In this thesis, dynamical behavior of chemical reactors in which polymerization or series reactions take place has been considered. It has been shown that these reactors have chaotic dynamics under special condition. Two reactors of the second type (with series reactions) for cases of known and unknown parameters have been synchronized by a control method and stability of the proposed scheme has been established by the Lyapunov stability theorem. Simulation results show the effectiveness of proposed method. Since concentration measurement is difficult and expensive, an observer has been used for state estimation. The local stability of the closed loop system including observer dynamics has been proved. Finally an idea for controlling the reactors through anti-synchronization has been proposed
