In this research off-line model based controllers and a process simulator are described .The process models are based on the laws of physics. these models can predict the future behavior and the stability of the controlled process very reliably much better than other non-model based (AI) methods. The control scheme consists of a control algorithm . This model based control system is evaluated on a simulation model that represents accurately the dynamic of the process. Finally the usefulness to the Steel Industry of the suggested method is highlighted. ER -
