This paper considers active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) as a new control approach for pH neutralization process. The pH process is challenging to control due to its sensitivity to disturbance, nonlinear dynamics, and time-varying characteristics. Special attention is paid to the impact of disturbances typically exists in the chemical process. First, the pH neutralization process…

Perishable inventory management contributes simultaneously to society and the economy, by reducing food wastage and capitalizing on the freshness of goods. For this reason, countless mathematical models have been developed for their effectiveness and cost-efficient management. Yet, the majority of these models can only optimize systems for a limited time frame, allowing for small gains…
