This article concerns the second part of the work. An adaptive self-tuning controller was implemented to improve the performance of the thermal airflow process. At each sampling interval, the process model is updated using an on-line identification strategy developed in the first part of the work. Based on the identification, the controller is self-tuned to compensate for eventual changes in the process parameters. Intentional disturbances were made in the process dynamics in order to evaluate the adaptation performance of the control system.","PeriodicalId":346963,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Instrumentation and Control","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125231244","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article presents the first part of the work. The thermal airflow system was represented by an ARMAX model, whose parameters were identified using the Recursive Least Squares method, based on two approaches: the Matrix Inversion Lemma, and the Bierman’s UD Factorization.

A measurement system especially designed to detect UWPE, and an application in sanitary control of natural water resources is presented here. The system was implemented based on a dark-chamber with a photomultiplier module (PMT) cooled with a microprocessor controlled thermoelectric device coupled. The PMT detects the UWPE from the biological sample under measurement. The performance evaluation of the measuring system in terms of dark-noise and bacteria detection was performed in order to assure that it is able to realize UWPE measurements for the proposed application. The samples under test were comprised of a series of 3 control cultures of standard Escherichia coli strain, used as control, and other 3 water samples collected from a river close to a metropolitan area in Brazil. The comparison between the control and test samples has shown that the proposed application is feasible for Escherichia coli detection tests in water samples from natural water resources to assure the evaluation of their microbiologic quality.","PeriodicalId":346963,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Instrumentation and Control","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124202409","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
