Abstract
An algorithm is set up and tested for the temperature control of a batch reactor consisting in jump changes in the inlet temperature of entering coolant. This temperature is so chosen that its difference from the temperature of the reaction mixture is near the highest difference at which the stable pseudostationary state of the system still exists. For the prediction of the new coolant inlet temperature, a zero-order reaction model is used with an adaptive parameter estimated from the experimentally established value of the maximum of the reaction mixture overheating at the previous coolant temperature.
