modelControllerFeedForReformer

Controller to control the feed mass flow rate for the steam methane reformer

Extends from TransiEnt.Basics.Icons.Controller (Icon for controller).

Information

1. Purpose of model

This is a controller to control the feed mass flow rate for the steam methane reformer to produce a given hydrogen mass flow rate.

2. Level of detail, physical effects considered, and physical insight

The mass flow rate of the hydrogen at the system outlet is compared to the target value. The feed is controlled using a P, PI, PD or PID controller.

3. Limits of validity

(no remarks)

4. Interfaces

m_flow_H2: Measured hydrogen mass flow rate in [kg/s]

m_flow_set_H2: Targeted hydrogen mass flow rate in [kg/s]

m_flow_feed: output for the feed mass flow rate (positive sign) in [kg/s]
