Fuzzy Linear Matrix Inequalities Control for a Rectangular Thermosyphon

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper proposed a fuzzy Linear Matrix Inequalities(LMI) control strategy for a rectangular thermosyphon. These thermo-fluid-dynamic systems are used to refrigerate heat sources by means of natural circulation of a fluid without mechanical pumping. Two different fuzzy LMI controllers have been designed in order to guarantee closed loop stability, on the basis of a suitable nonlinear T-S fuzzy model of the system. In particular the controllers are designed in order to prevent temperature oscillations, associated with the inversion of the flow direction, which compromise the heat removal from the thermal source. Two different strategies have been adopted to introduce suitable constraints on the control action.
