Abstract :
State-space model of an axi-symmetric heat conduction energy equation is obtained by lumping the partial differential equation using the finite-element approximation. Boundary conditions (BC) such as convection BC, isothermal BC and insulation BC are parameterized and the free parameters are included in the input vector. The state-space model is used to design controllers to shape transient dynamics and track constant reference.
