Abstract
Heat exchangers are generally described by two coupled partial differential equations (PDEs), and belong to the class of systems of conservation laws. In this paper we propose a result on the regulation of heat exchangers, in which we are choosing a proportional-integral (PI)-controller implemented on an output feedback from a boundary condition. First, a study on the existence and uniqueness of solutions of uncontrolled system is carried out, and we give a condition on the parameters of the system that ensures that the control-observation problem is well-posedness. Secondly we successively study the stability of the system controlled by a proportional and integral action, when the gains are adjusted following respectively a classic Lyapunov approach, and using a recent result that combines Lyapunov’s approach and operator perturbation theory.
