Abstract
This paper is the first part of a two part study that develops, validates and integrates a one-dimensional, physics-based, dynamic boiler model suitable for application with model based control. Part 1 of this study extends and validates the existing, higher order modelling framework of Badmus et. al. [1] to boilers. This requires derivation of particular, one-dimensional forms of the equations for heat, mass and momentum transfer in single (liquid and gas) phase and two phase fluids with real fluid properties. The so-called ‘forcing term’ mapping functions in these equations only require knowledge of steady state system behaviour, and so can be obtained from steady state measurements throug..
