• Roll-out of model based control with application to paper machines 

      Hauge, Tor Anders (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2003:31, Doctoral thesis; Peer reviewed, 2003)
      A mechanistic nonlinear model of the wet end of paper machine 6 (PM6) at Norske Skog Saugbrugs, Norway has been developed, and used in an MPC application. The MPC provides reduced variability in many key variables, and ...
    • Statistical estimation of loads from gas explosions 

      Høiset, Stian (Doctoral theses at NTNU;1998:23, Doctoral thesis; Peer reviewed, 1998)
      In the design of structures in the offshore and process industries, the possibility of a gas explosion must always be considered. This is usually incorporated by performing explosion simulations. However, estimations based ...
    • The impact of staged combustion on the operation of a precalciner cement kiln 

      Tokheim, Lars-André (Doctoral theses at NTNU;1999:89, Doctoral thesis; Peer reviewed, 1999)
      In this thesis, the impact of staged combustion on the operation of a precalciner cement kiln, is considered. Mathematical modelling and full-scale experiments at the Norcem cement works in Brevik, Norway, is the basis for ...
    • Tomographic Approach to Automatic and Non-Invasive Flow Regime Identification 

      Pradeep, Chaminda (Doctoral dissertations at TUC;2015:4, Doctoral thesis; Peer reviewed, 2015-08-28)
      This thesis mainly presents the use of process tomography to study and measure flow parameters in two phase horizontal and near horizontal flows. All static measurements were made using a horizontal separator section while ...
    • Topics in open and closed loop subspace system identification : finite data-based methods 

      Nilsen, Geir Werner (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2005:228, Doctoral thesis; Peer reviewed, 2006)
      When subspace identification methods for finite closed loop data sets are presented they are often compared to poor subspace identification methods. The methods presented in this thesis are always compared to the results ...
