Abstract

This study introduces a sophisticated control method for Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers (STHEs) by combining an Internal Model Control (IMC) with Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) models enhanced by the Dragonfly Algorithm. This innovative technique utilizes ANFIS for both the forward and inverse modeling of the heat exchanger, effectively capturing the intricate, nonlinear dynamics of the system. The Dragonfly Algorithm is utilized to optimize the ANFIS parameters and enhance the accuracy and adaptability of the model. In the IMC framework, the forward ANFIS model predicts the process output based on the control inputs, whereas the inverse ANFIS model determines the necessary control actions to achieve the desired temperature. This integration allows for precise and real-time adjustment of control actions, thereby improving the temperature regulation and overall system performance. The combined use of the IMC and optimized ANFIS models offers a robust solution for effective temperature control in STHE applications.
