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