PREDICTIVE CONTROL BY DISTRIBUTED PARAMETER SYSTEMS BLOCKSET FOR MATLAB & SIMULINK
Simulation of model predictive control of casting mold temperature field is presented. Temperature fields of the mould have been modeled and studied using a finite element method based software package, ProCAST, and numerical models in the form of lumped-input/distributed-output systems have been obtained. For model predictive control synthesis the Model Predictive Control Toolbox was used. Simulation have been realized using the Distributed Parameter Systems Blockset for MATLAB & Simulink, which is a third-party MathWorks product.
Distributed Parameter Systems Blockset for Simulink---Third-Party MathWorks Product
In the paper, first fundamentals of the engineering approach to the control of distributed parameter systems will be indicated. Then the Distributed Parameter Systems Blockset for Simulink with Show, Demos and DPS Wizard – third-party MathWorks product will be presented. Some possibilities of this product are shown by control of complex shape 3D metal body heating modeled by numerical structures of finite element method.
A survey of aquaculture production economics and management
Abstract The literature on production economics and management of fish culture has grown as aquaculture has matured as a commercial industry. Salmon, catfish, shrimp and trout are the focus of this literature survey as a reflection of the volume of research that has been completed on these species and their importance in US production and world trade. In addition, a discussion of low resource production systems is included that is dominated by tilapia and carp culture systems. A brief overview of the principles of aquaculture production economics and management is presented followed by a review of economic studies.
