Many industrial applications require or can be improved by strict control of the temperature distribution on a surface. This initial investigation presents modeling and control of heat flow on an aluminum plate. Temperature distribution is modeled using a dense equivalent electrical circuit. An observer is designed based on the model to estimate the temperature distribution on the plate. The estimation is used in a controller to regulate the temperature of a desired point on the plate, given discrete heat input elements but no cooling elements. Experiments are conducted to compare the realism of the heat flow model and efficacy of the control method with experimental data. Results show that the steady state error between the actual and estimated temperatures at different points on the surface is always less than 0.5°C, which indicates accurate estimation of the temperature. The RMS error between desired and actual temperatures through all experiments is less than 2°C which indicates fast regulation and low steady state error.

13C and 31P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra were used to assess substrate oxidation and high-energy phosphates in postischemic (PI) isolated rabbit hearts. Phosphocreatine (PCr) increased in nonischemic controls on switching from glucose perfusion to either 2.5 mM [3-13C]pyruvate (120%, n = 7) or [2-13C]acetate (114%, n = 8, P less than 0.05). ATP content, oxygen consumption (MVO2), and hemodynamics (dP/dt) were not affected by substrate availability in control or PI hearts. dP/dt was 40-60% lower in PI hearts during reperfusion after 10 min ischemia. Hearts reperfused with either pyruvate (n = 11) or acetate (n = 8) regained preischemic PCr levels within 45 s. Steady-state ATP levels were 55-70% of preischemia with pyruvate and 52-60% with acetate. Percent maximum [4-13C]glutamate signal showed reduced conversion of pyruvate to glutamate via the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle at 4-min reperfusion (PI = 24 +/- 4%, means +/- SE; Control = 48 +/- 4%). The increase in 13C signal from the C-4 position of glutamate was similar to control hearts within 10.5 min. The increase in [4-13C]glutamate signal from acetate was not different between PI and control hearts. The ratio of [2-13C]Glu:[4-13C]Glu, reflecting TCA cycle activity, was reduced in PI hearts with acetate for at least 10 min (Control = 0.76 +/- 0.03; PI = 0.51 +/- 0.09) until steady state was reached. Despite rapid recovery of oxidative phosphorylation, contractility remained impaired and substrate oxidation was significantly slowed in postischemic hearts.

Process integration design methodologies have been developed and introduced to synthesise an optimum heat exchanger network (HEN) arrangement. However, controllability issues are often overlooked during the early stages of a plant design. In this paper we present a five-step procedure that involves the use of multivariable disturbance and control analyses based solely on steady-state information and with the purpose to assess process design developments and to propose control strategy alternatives appropriate and suitable for a HEN.
