    Open and closed-loop stochastic dynamics of a class of nonlinear chemical processes with multiplicative noise

    No full text
    The open and closed-loop global state probability density function behavior of a class of single-state nonlinear chemical processes subjected to additive and multiplicative white noises is characterized with analytic formulae through Fokker Planck (FP) theory, in terms of: (i) stationary state probability density function (PDF), (ii) PDF evolution along deterministic, diffusion, and escape time scales, (iii) conditions for PDF metastability along escape time scale, and (iv) dependency of PDF motion on deterministic dynamics. Comparing with noise additivity, multiplicativeness can yield similar or substantially different open-loop PDF evolution behavior. The application of control to an open-loop (possibly fragile and metastable) multimodal PDF yields a closed-loop robust monomodal PDF with mode regulation capability. The developments and findings are illustrated with numerical simulations of FP's PDE equation

    Global-nonlinear stochastic dynamics of a class of two-state two-parameter non-isothermal continuous stirred tank reactors

    No full text
    The global-nonlinear stochastic dynamics of a class of two-state two-parameter continuous exothermic chemical reactors subjected to noise disturbances is studied with Fokker-Planck's (FP's) partial differential equation (PDE) theory. The dependency of the stochastic on deterministic dynamics is formally established, and the fundamental characteristics of the associated two-state probability density function (PDF) are described in analytic form, including: (i) stationary state PDF, (ii) convection, diffusion, and metastability time scales along which the state PDF transient occurs, as well as (iii) conditions for PDF metastability. The correspondence between the determination of stochastic stationary state PDF and the assessment of deterministic multiplicity via Van Heerden's (VH) diagram is established. The developments and results are illustrated with numerical solution of FP's PDE, and put in perspective with typical and atypical results drawn with Monte Carlo (MC) method
