  In this work, we consider the output tracking and disturbance rejection
problems of a mono-tubular heat exchanger process and a novel
finite-dimensional output feedback regulator is developed. In the proposed
output feedback regulator design, measurements available for the regulator do
not belong to the set of controlled outputs. In other words, design emphasizes
that other than controlled output is used as input signal to the regulator. The
proposed output feedback regulator with only plant measurement ym(t) can
realize the exosystem state estimation, disturbance rejection and reference
signal tracking, simultaneously. Finally, the results are demonstrated by a
mono-tubular heat exchanger process with specific parameters via the computer
simulation.
