Abstract

The stability of various chemical engineering systems is studied through the use of vector Lyapunov functions. A decomposition technique is employed which reduces the problem to small, independent, free subsystems that can be analyzed through Lyapunov's second method. The stability characteristics of the overall system are then related to the behavior of a linear system which is easily analyzed.
