Numero‐Fuzzy Hybrid for Modelling and Simulation of the Fouling of Milk Heat Exchangers

To overcome the lack of a selfcontained description of the fouling process in dairy industry, a fuzzy system is integrated in a process model using wellknown numerics thus resulting in a numero-fuzzy hybrid model. Results concerning the simulation of a dairy plant and a new approach for the study of the applied fuzzy systems are presented.
