ABSTRACT
The most common use of feedback control is regulation. By using sensors that monitor the plant, and suitably altering its inputs, the controller regulates the plant outputs around their desired values. A more dramatic application of feedback control is stabilization. A plant that is prone to instability can be stabilized using a feedback controller by utilizing online information from the plant outputs and altering key inputs into the plant. Nowhere is this more apparent than in continuous combustion processes and impinging flows.
