This paper is devoted to the temperature control and the stabilization under input constraints of exothermic chemical reactors. We first consider a reactor in which a single and exothermic reaction takes place and design state feedback controllers to achieve the global and robust stabilization under input constraints of the reactor. Then, we extend these results to a general class of exothermic reactors in which multiple coupled chemical reactions can take place. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
