THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED BY DERIVING A PREDICTIVE FEED-FORWARD SIGNAL FROM CONSIDERATION OF A HEAT BALANCE AROUND THE DRUM AND BY VARYING THE PREDICTIVE SIGNAL WITH A FEEDBACK SIGNAL PROPORTIONAL TO ACTUAL EXIT TEMPERATURE. THE MODIFIED FEED-FORWARD SIGNAL IS THEN USED AS AN ERROR SIGNAL FOR CONTROLLING THE STEAM PRESSURE WITHIN THE DRUM, AND, HENCE, ITS TEMPERATURE. D R A W I N G
