Open-loop control of particle size distribution in semi-batch emulsion copolymerization using a genetic algorithm

The open-loop generation of an optimal feed profile to attain a target particle size distribution (PSD) in the semi-batch emulsion co-polymerization of vinyl acetate and butyl acrylate is described. A nominal model of the process based on population balancing is utilized for this purpose. A Genetic...
