Limitations of Feedback, Feedforward and IMC Controller for a First Order Non-Linear Process with Dead Time

A nonlinear process, the heat exchanger whose parameters vary with respect to the process variable, is considered. The time constant and gain of the chosen process vary as a function of temperature. The limitations of the conventional feedback controller tuned using Ziegler-Nichols settings for the...
