 MATHEMATICAL MODELING
• Deals with finding the relation between input and
output
• Generally takes the form of differential equations
(ordinary or partial)
• Can be used to determine the transfer function of
the system
• Used to determine the output of system for any
given input

 WHY MATHEMATICAL MODELING?
• To improve understanding of the process
• To train plant operating personnel
• To design the control strategy for a new process
• To select the controller setting
• To design the control law
• To optimize process operating conditions

 Classification of Mathematical Models
• Based on the approach
– Theoretical models (based on physicochemical law)
• Based on Force Balance, Energy balance, Mass Balance
– Empirical models (based on process data analysis)
– Semi-empirical models (combined approach)
• Based on the conditions
– Dynamic Model
• Describes time behaviour of a process (Changes in input,
disturbance, parameters, initial condition are taken into
account)
– Steady State Model
• Describes behavior of process under steady state conditions
