Effect of Initial Temperature and Diameter of Ethanol Droplet on Evaporation Dynamics in Convective Air Medium
Abstract: Ethanol is a suitable biofuel as it has fewer toxic emissions and higher-octane numbers. For spray combustion applications, the gas phase motion must be considered while numerically investigating the fundamental aspects of droplet evaporation and combustion processes. Hence, we have numerically simulated the evaporation dynamics of an isolated spherically shaped ethanol droplet under a forced convective air environment in the absence of gravity. The momentum transfer between two phases is …

AI-Assisted Gain Scheduling for Real-Time Temperature Control in Chemical Reactors
Abstract: Temperature control in continuous stirred-tank reactors (CSTR) represents a critical challenge in chemical process industries due to inherent nonlinearities, time-varying dynamics, and parametric uncertainties. Conventional proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers with fixed gains often fail to maintain optimal performance across varying operating conditions, leading to temperature excursions that compromise product quality and safety.
