Existing control methods, which struggle with complex air flowAir flow dynamics, result in high temperature variations and excessive fuel consumption. The new Fuzzy LogicFuzzy logic system was developed to overcome these limitations by using empirical rules to process concepts like “very high temperature” and “slow heating,” much like an experienced operator would. Fuzzy LogicFuzzy logic is an extension of Boolean logic that allows for the representation of the concept of partial truth, where values are defined on a continuum between “completely false” (0) and “completely true” (1). This approach facilitates the modelingModeling of control systems by enabling human linguistic concepts, such as “few,” “a lot,” “more or less,” “high,” and “low,” to be represented through fuzzy sets.
