2.
Fuzzy Logic Controllability Studies on Chemical Processes
The objective of this research is to study the controllability of a FL controller in controlling fast and slow chemical processes. The fast processes can be represented by liquid flow, liquid level or gas pressure control. While the slow process can be represented by gas or water temperature control.

Scope of Work
1.  Design of a FL controller
2.  Simulation work
3.  Experimental work
4.  Comparison to PID controller
3.
 		Advanced Control Studies on Feedforward Temperature Control
