(solve each part on a paper and explain) Consider the cylindrical tank in the Fig-QUESTION I
Consider the cylindrical tank in the Fig-
ure mixing a pure component A stream
and an inert solvent S stream. Assume
perfect flow control. A PI level controller
with a gain Kc=0.2min-1(with an aggressive manipulates
the outflow with the two inflow streams
being independent. Initially the system
is at steady state with the salient de-
sign and operating conditions noted in
the Figure. The initial hold up is 50%
of full tank capacity. Answer the follow-
ing questions,
reaction rA=kcA(isothermal reaction)
(a) Using linearization, derive a linear dynamic ODE model relating the outlet A concentration
cA to the two independent flow rate setpoints, FASP and FSSP.
(b) Present the ODE model above as a block diagram with appropriate transfer functions.(make proper block diagram)
(c) Obtain an analytic expression for cA(t) for the linear ODE derived in part (a) for a step change
in the solvent flow rate of size FS0.
(d) It is proposed to use a PI controller that manipulates FASP to hold cA. The integral time I
is set to twice the mixing tank residence time at the initial steady state and the controller
gain Kc is chosen for a dominant closed loop pole pair damping coefficient of 0.5. Calculate
Kc and 1.
(e) Obtain an analytical expression for the response of cA(t) to a step change in the solvent rate
of size Fs0 with the composition controller in part (d) on antomatic.
(f) What is the maximum deviation from setpoint in the elosed loop cA response.
Solve each part completely. with proper explanantion and find final solution of each part.
