A meta-heuristic optimization algorithm based third generation CRONE controller is proposed for controlling the thermal interfaces in heat exchanger device. The primary aim of this work is to identify suitable optimization technique among the whale optimization Algorithm (WOA) and grey wolf optimization (GWO) algorithms that would improve the robustness of third order crone controller against the parameter variations. A mathematical model of HE is developed to compute non-integer parameters so as to realize the optimal performance of the controller. The objective function is to minimize cost of fluid flow rate and to maximize the heat transfer rate. The optimization of heat exchanger is complicated by number of process plants, area, and method of connection, pressure drop of fluid, and transfer rate. A competitive result is obtained with multi-objective non-linear WOA for wide range of the process variable variations. The simulation is performed in MATLAB software to verify proposed WOA optimized third order CRONE controller and the performance is compared with the GWO optimized CRONE controller.
