In Chemical Engineering a multiple reaction system involves a complexmathematical model with coupled nonlinear differential equations. Control of this system ina Complete Mix Reactor (CSTR) is difficult to achieve by classical methods. In this work, atracking control of the main quality variables of the serial-parallel system called "Van derVusse Reaction" is successfully implemented. The controller is designed using simpleLinear Algebra concepts. The controller setting parameters are calculated using the MonteCarlo random algorithm. The simulation results are shown when the regulation of thedesired product quality at the steady state point is achieved.
