Abstract: | In this work the open-loop nonlinear bifurcation analysis of a continuous stirred tank reactor where polyurethane polymerization reactions take place is carried out. The effect of potential manipulated, disturbance and design variables on the reactor nonlinear behavior is addressed. Moreover, the impact of cascade feedback control on the steady-state multiplicity pattern is also discussed. It is shown that cascade control introduces new nonlinearity patterns increasing closed-loop sensitivity. |
