Clearing bubble blockages in micro channels using a model predictive controller

Creator:

Patton, Chris

Abstract:

Micro scale systems are being utilized in a wide variety of chemical, biological and heat exchanger applications, but suffer from the development of vapor bubbles inside the microchannels due to convective boiling, leading to decreases in system performance. In this work, a simulation-based control strategy is employed to eliminate flow...

Model Predictive Control for Underwater Robots in Ocean Waves

Creator:

Fernández, Daniel C.

Abstract:

Underwater robots beneath ocean waves can benefit from feedforward control to reduce position error. This thesis proposes a method using Model Predictive Control (MPC) to predict and counteract future disturbances from an ocean wave field. The MPC state estimator employs a Linear Wave Theory (LWT) solver to approximate the component...

Model Predictive Control for Underwater Robots in Ocean
Adaptive methods for robust commercial vehicle control

Creator:

Junell, Jaime L.

Abstract:

This thesis explores the implementation of learning based control with predictive cruise control and the potential this technology has for increasing fuel efficiency while keeping on a well maintained schedule for commercial trucks. Traditional cruise control is wasteful when maintaining a constant velocity over rolling hills. Predictive cruise control is...
