Question: PLEASE SKETCH THE CONTROL STRUCTURE Q 1 . ( 2 5 / 1 0 0 ) The following exothermic reactor is traditionally cooled by jacket

PLEASE SKETCH THE CONTROL STRUCTURE Q1.(25/100) The following exothermic reactor is traditionally cooled by jacket cooling water. V1
is half open at nominal conditions (control output =25%) and fully open at a control output =
50%. In order to increase the cooling capacity, a heat exchanger was installed as shown in the
figure below, with the objective of using heat exchanger cooling water flowrate as an additional
control variable. Thus, the heat exchanger cooling water valve acts as a secondary manipulated
variable, when jacket cooling water is not enough.
a) Choose the necessary control strategy for temperature control in the reactor, and sketch the
control structure using the appropriate conventions for identifying instrumentations and
connections.
Control strategy you choose:
Sketch of your cc c+cdots+1
b) Depict the controller action of two valves (use solid line for V1 and dashed line for V??(2)):
