Notes:
Feedback control of an open loop, unstable, continuous flow, stirred-tank biological reactor was investigated theoretically using several microbial growth models. The closed loop system can be made globally stable, but constraints on the manipulated variable can lead to as many as five steady states, which are either saddle points or locally stable nodes.
