Object-oriented modelling of starch mashing for simulation-based control studies
(2010) In Mathematical and Computer Modelling of Dynamical Systems 16(3). p.225-240- Abstract
In the production of beer, good temperature control of the starch mashing phase is very important for both the final product quality and the process efficiency. A precise tuning of the said control is, however, complicated by the highly non-linear nature of the process, and often also by the actuation scheme. Based on suitably extended literature models, this article shows how object-oriented modelling and simulation (OOMS) can be used to devise a solution to the above problem. A mashing model is first derived along the OOMS approach, and then the said model is coupled to a control representation of scalable detail, including a quasi replica of the control code. Doing so allows one to easily create and maintain hybrid overall models... (More)
