Design of Multivariable PID Control Scheme for Humidity and Temperature Control of Neonatal Incubator

Abstract

One among the most essential and delicate concerns in the world is preterm neonatal care. To cope with the external environment, a preterm baby requires an environment that is identical to that of the womb. Therefore, a neonatal incubator can be utilized to offer a comparable environment to neonates in the womb. The progress in neonatal incubator technology is utilized to prevent neonates’ mortality cases caused by infection and inadequate facility equipment management. In this thesis work, the overall system is designed using mathematical analysis. The neonate’s shape is modelled as a cylinder. The neonate is shown as a single lump with two layers: core and skin. The model includes every component of the neonatal incubator system, including the core, mattress, air circulation fan, heater, incubator walls, and humidification container
