Derivative proportional integral controller for glycerin heating process

Temperature control is crucial because a glycerin heating process depends significantly on the heat requirement. An uncontrolled increase in temperature above the operating temperature and excessive prolonged heating can jeopardize the final glycerine's oxidative stability. A glycerine heating...
