Abstract
The optimal control of the steady‐state temperature distribution in radiating panels using control heat sources is considered. The problem has important applications in the thermal control of space structures. A mathematical model leads to an elliptic nonlinear optimal control problem. A numerical optimal control method, based on finite element (FE) discretization and sequential quadratic programming (SQP), is employed. Results are presented for some specific examples.
