Chemical Engineering 3P04 Process Control Tutorial # 4 Learning goals

1. Discuss some common sensors (Flow already covered in Tutorial #1) 2. Continue to practice formulating and solving dynamic models of processes

Some variables that are measured in nearly all processes. What are they?

BARTEK
Maleic Anhydride Process

Some variables that are measured in nearly all processes. Where do we find information?

Your primary resource for sensor information with lots of links to detailed information.

Measurements are displayed either locally or in a central control room


Sensors with local indication for technicians working on process equipment

Central control room

Transmission to central computer for displays, plot, history, and calculations used for control.

Temperature: Local display is possible using thermometers and bimetallic sensors


Thermocouples: Specific metal pairs are used in practice for selected accuracies and ranges of temperature Thermocouples: Specific metal pairs are used in practice for selected accuracies and ranges of temperature RTDs: Electrical resistance depends on temperature, with higher temperature having higher resistance Thermisters: Electrical resistance depends on temperature, with lower temperature having higher resistance

Pressure Bourdon Tube for local display of pressure Pressure using Strain Gauge: A change in strain affects the electrical resistance of a metal. Pressure using Capacitance: A change in pressure deflects the separating diaphragm, which affects the capacitance. Pressure using Potentiametric: Converts the deflection of the arm to a change in resistance.

Level : sight glass for Local display Level using displacement: Sensors measure the weight of an object suspended in the liquid. Level using head: Sensors measure the pressure difference to infer level.

Modeling: Practice, Practice, Practice!!! We apply this procedure 1. Define Goals 2. Prepare information 3. Formulate the model 4. Determine the solution 5. Analyze Results 6. Validate the model to many physical systems overall material balance component material balance energy balances

Modelling exercises: Perform the following modelling exercises from Tutorials on the PC-Education WEB: 4.2 Flow as the input (forcing function)

3.3 isothermal CSTR (solution)


ILM Questions 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.8, 4.13 Modelling flow chart
