Question: Q 3 . ( 2 0 P ) In a chemical reactor it is desired to control the reaction temperature ( T ) at 9

Q3.(20 P) In a chemical reactor it is desired to control the reaction temperature (T) at 90C with PD
(Proportional + derivative) controller, by manipulating the flow rate of cooling water (Fc). In the PD
controller, the proportional band value is 50% and the derivative time constant (D) is 5min. The
transfer function of the process, the transfer function of the disturbance, the transfer function of the
thermocouple and the transfer function of the valve used are as follows;
Gp(s),=-0.2((4s+1)(5s+1))0CL?min,Gd(s)=0.4(4s+1)(5s+1),?0CC
Gs(s),=16200(s+1)mAC,GV(s)=-50016LminmA
a) Is this system stable?
b) Is it oscillating?
c) If feed temperature increases by 30C, does the response of the system fit to the set point? How
much offset value is seen?
d) What is the value of the temperature when the system becomes stable?
