Process Control: Modeling, Design, and Simulation

Additional Exercises

1:

Consider the case 2 operating point, Fs/V = 2.8744 min-1. Show that the steady-state concentrations are CAs = 6.0870 mol/liter and CBs = 1.117 mol/liter. Find the resulting state space model and verify that the manipulated input-output process transfer function for this operating point is Find the gain-time constant form for this transfer function. Show that a P controller (with the correct sign on the controller gain) cannot destabilize this process unless there are additional measurement and valve lags. Use the Routh stability criterion.

Consider the following parameters given by Klatt and Engell (1998) for a reactor operating ...
