摘要:AbstractThis paper further explores the link between irreversible thermodynamics and system theory, and its use for port-based modeling for reaction systems. More specifically we show here that a pseudo Hamiltonian representation with R(x) > 0 can be obtained by considering the Brayton-Moser formulation via a unified potential function that verifies a thermodynamic evolution criterion. As a consequence, it gives additional degrees of freedom (i.e. to construct alternate pseudo Hamiltonian models with new passive outputs) usable for further studies on the control design. A representative example of irreversible processes via the non isothermal continuous stirred tank reactor model is used to illustrate the theoretical developments.
