This paper focuses on the control system design for a process of autothermal reforming (ATR) of ethanol. The targeted application is within an on-board fuel processor of ATR operating at the adiabatic reaction temperature for hydrogen production. An internal model control (IMC) method is designed for controlling the adiabatic reaction temperature of ATR reactor by manipulating the input air flow rate. Two strategies of controller design with and without the feed temperature control of the preheater unit are proposed in order to determine the suitable controller system as the surrounding temperature is a major disturbance for cold weather. Theoretical analysis demonstrates that IMC strategy can achieve desired performance. Two loops of control system of the ATR process combined with the feed temperature control can compensate the surrounding temperature better than without the feed temperature control.

Figure 1 shows the design of a specimen stage used for the in situ observation of phase transformations in the temperature range between ambient and −160°C. The design has the following features a high degree of specimen stability during tilting linear tilt actuation about two orthogonal axes for accurate control of tilt angle read-out high angle tilt range for stereo work and habit plane determination simple, robust construction temperature control of better than ±0.5°C minimum thermal drift and transmission of vibration from the cooling system.
