This manuscript addresses a novel output model predictive controller design for a\nrepresentative model of continuous stirred-tank reactor (CSTR) and axial dispersion reactor with\nrecycle. The underlying model takes the form of ODE-PDE in series and it is operated at an\nunstable point. The model predictive controller (MPC) design is explored to achieve optimal\nclosed-loop system stabilization and to account for naturally present input and state constraints.\nThe discrete representation of the system is obtained by application of the structure properties\n(stability, controllability and observability) preserving Cayley-Tustin discretization to the coupled\nsystem. The design of a discrete Luenberger observer is also considered to accomplish the output\nfeedback MPC realization. Finally, the simulations demonstrate the performance of the controller,\nindicating proper stabilization and constraints satisfaction in the closed loop.
