A process stream is heated using a shell and tube heat exchanger. The exit temperature is controlled by adjusting the steam control valve shown in Fig. E12.5. During an open-loop experimental test, the steam pressure P_swas suddenly changed from 18 to 20 psig and the temperature data shown below

were obtained. At the nominal conditions, the control valve and current-to-pressure transducers have gains of K_v = 0.9 psi/psi and K_IP = 0.75 psi/mA, respectively. Deter-mine appropriate PID controller settings using the following approaches:
(a) Internal Model Control (select a reasonable value of Ï„_c)
(b) AMIGO (with β = 1 and γ = 0)
(c) ITAE (disturbance) Which controller is the most aggressive?
