Question: Consider a lab scale CSTR with a single second order reaction. To the reactor reactants enter with a flowrate, F ( l t m i

Consider a lab scale CSTR with a single second order reaction. To the reactor reactants
enter with a flowrate, F(ltmin), and concentration CAin(mollt). The output
concentration in terms of component A is CA and is the output variable.
The CSTR is a constant volume one.
Data: Rate of reaction r=kCA2[moles of A reacted /lt-min/lt]
Steady state conditions are:
?bar(F)=1 liter/min; ?bar(CAs)=1mol? liter; ?bar(V)=1 liter ;k=1 liter/(mol-min); ?bar(CAtn)=2mol? liter
The Control Valve:
F'(s){:=5.0ltmin?)P'(s)
KIT=0.75mA
I/P Transmitter:
CAm'(s)=0.1e-2s(mAmol?(liter))CA'(s)
Gc(s)=Kc[mAmA]
Temperature-sensor-transmitter: CAm'(s)
Gc(s)=Kc[mAmA]
Controller:
Gc(s)=Kc[mAmA]
a. Draw the reactor system schematically showing all inputs and outputs
b. Derive the necessary unsteady-state differential equations for modelling the reactor by
making necessary assumptions
c. Linearize the equations and obtain the input-output model in Laplace Domain indicate
the load and process Transfer Function find numeric values of gains and time
constants.
d. Suggest control configuration for controlling the output concentration of A for any
changes in input concentration by stating the controlled variable, manipulated variable
and disturbance.
e. Draw the block-flow diagram for the design you developed considering inputs and
outputs of all hardware elements with their units.
f. What will be your suggestion for the correct controller type (P/PI/PD/PID)?
g. Find closed loop transfer functions for servo and regulator problems.
h. For a decrease of 0.10mol? liter in the inlet concentration of A what is the time
i. Find the open-loop response of CA(t) for a decrease of 0.10mol? liter in the inlet
concentration of A.
j. Find the offset for open-loop and compare it with the one you found in part "h".
(Hint: You can use Pad approximation for the delay term e-2s for part h)
