TY - GEN ID - discovery10085624 N2 - The continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) typifies an important class of process control systems. Is is a nonlinear system and is sensitive to both external disturbances and system uncertainty. Given these challenges, a nonsingular terminal sliding mode observer is proposed to estimate any external disturbance. Then, a continuous adaptive sliding mode control method is combined with the proposed disturbance observer. This is found to reduce chattering and improve control accuracy when compared with other methods. A full Lyapunov stability proof of the resulting closed-loop system is performed and the effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated by simulation experiments.
