Test II Questions - Jan 17

The document contains two problems related to process control. Problem 1 involves determining the stability of a process, calculating proportional controller settings, and sizing a PID controller. Problem 2 involves proposing a control loop for a blending tank to maintain outlet temperature, determining valve and controller actions, and calculating transmitter properties. The problems require calculations of transfer functions, stability analysis, controller tuning, and instrumentation properties.

1. The transfer functions of a feedback controlled process are given below.

2( s  1) 0.16 1
G p (s)  Gv ( s )  Gm ( s ) 
(12 s  1)(3.2 s  1) 0. 8 s  1 1.2 s  1

a. Determine with appropriate justification whether the process is stable without


controller.
[6 marks]

b. Determine the values of Kc for which the closed loop system will be stable with
proportional controller.
[18 marks]

c. Determine the controller setting for a PID controller with Tyres-Luyben method
given in the Appendix.

2. The schematic diagram of a blending tank is shown FIGURE 1. The tank is used to
supply a process stream at 62oC. At steady state, the temperature of Stream-1 is 85 oC.
It is a safety requirement that in the absence of instrument air the hot stream should be
closed.

FIGURE 1
a. Propose a feedback control structure using schematic diagram with appropriate
P & ID notation to maintain the outlet temperature at 62 oC.
[10 marks]

b. For the control structure in part (a) determine the valve action and controller
action.
[15 marks]
c. If you use a temperature transmitter with a range of -15 oC to 250oC and a standard
4mA to 20mA output what will be the gain the transmitter.
[10 marks]

d. For the transmitter in part (a), determine the current in mA if the measured
temperature is 55 oC.
