Abstract

Van de Vusse reactor is known as a highly nonlinear chemical process and has been considered by a number of researchers as a benchmark problem for nonlinear chemical process. Various identification methods for nonlinear system are also verified by applying these methods to Van de Vusse reactor. From the point of view of identification, only the Volterra kernel of second order has been obtained until now. In this paper, the authors show that Volterra kernels of nonlinear Van de Vusse reactor of up to 3rd order are obtained by use of M-sequence correlation method. A pseudo-random M-sequence is applied to Van de Vusse reactor as an input and its output is measured. Taking the crosscorrelation function between the input and the output, we obtain up to 3rd order Volterra kernels, which is the highest order Volterra kernel obtained until now for Van de Vusse reactor. Computer simulations show that when Van de Vusse chemical process is identified by use of up to 3rd order Volterra kernels, a good agreement is observed between the calculated output and the actual output.
