a) Overall mass balance:

Energy balance:

C = w1C (T1 Tref ) + w2C (T2 Tref )
dt (2)
w3C (T3 Tref )
Because = constant and V = V = constant, Eq. 1 becomes:

w3 = w1 + w2 (3)

The simplified model now consists only of Eq. 5.

 Variables : w1, w2, T1, T2, T3
NE = 1
NV = 5

Thus, NF = 5 1 = 4

Because w1, w2, T1 and T2 are determined by upstream units, we assume

they are known functions of time:

w1 = w1(t)
w2 = w2 (t)
T1 = T1(t)
T2 = T2(t)

Thus, NF is reduced to 0.

Energy balance:

b) T increases if Ti increases and vice versa.

T decreases if w increases and vice versa if (Ti T) < 0. In other words, if

Q > UAs(T-Ta), the contents are heated, and T >Ti.

Flow relations:

Let P1 be the pressure at the bottom of tank 1.

Let P2 be the pressure at the bottom of tank 2.

Let Pa be the ambient pressure.

P1 P2 g
Then w2 = = (h1 h2 ) (3)
R2 g c R2

P1 Pa g
w3 = = h1 (4)
R3 g c R3

b) Seven parameters: , A1, A2, g, gc, R2, R3

Five variables : h1, h2, w1, w2, w3

Four equations

Thus NF = 5 4 = 1

1 input = w1 (specified function of time)

4 outputs = h1, h2, w2, w3

Assume constant liquid density, . The mass balance for the tank is

d (Ah + m g )

Because , A, and mg are constant, this equation becomes

The square-root relationship for flow through the control valve is

q = C v Pg + Pa (2)

From the ideal gas law,

(m g / M ) RT
Pg = (3)
A( H h)

where T is the absolute temperature of the gas.

Equation 1 gives the unsteady-state model upon substitution of q from Eq. 2 and
of Pg from Eq. 3:

1/ 2
dh (mg / M ) RT gh
A = qi Cv + Pa (4)
dt A( H h) gc

Because the model contains Pa, operation of the system is not independent of Pa.
For an open system Pg = Pa and Eq. 2 shows that the system is independent of Pa.

T1 and T2 are the temperatures in the surge tanks.

Substituting for m1 and m2 from Eq. 3 into Eq. 2, and noticing that V1, T1,
V2, and T2 are constant,

V1M dP1 V2 M dP2

The dynamic model consists of Eqs. 1 and 4.

a) Assumptions:

1. Each compartment is perfectly mixed.

2. and C are constant.
3. No heat losses to ambient.

Compartment 1:

2-5
 Overall balance (No accumulation of mass):

0 = q q1 thus q1 = q (1)

Energy balance (No change in volume):

V11C = 1qC 2Ti T1 3 UA2T1 T2 3

Compartment 2:

Overall balance:

0 = q1 q2 thus q2 = q1= q (3)

Energy balance:

b) Eight parameters: , V1, V2, C, U, A, Uc, Ac

Five variables: Ti, T1, T2, q, Tc
Two equations: (2) and (4)

Thus NF = 5 2 = 3

2 outputs = T1, T2
3 inputs = Ti, Tc, q (specify as functions of t)

c) Three new variables: ci, c1, c2 (concentration of species A).

Two new equations: Component material balances on each compartment.
c1 and c2 are new outputs. ci must be a known function of time.

2.7

Let the volume of the top tank be V, and assume that is constant.

Then, an overall mass balance for either of the two tanks indicates that the
flow rate of the stream from the top tank to the bottom tank is equal to
q +qR. Because the two tanks are perfectly stirred, cT2 = cT.

Eqs. 1 and 2 constitute the model relating the outflow concentration, cT, to
inflow concentration, cTi. Describing the full-scale reactor in the form of
two separate tanks has introduced two new parameters into the analysis, qR
and . Hence, these parameters will have to be obtained from physical
experiments.

2.8

Additional assumptions:

(i) Density of the liquid, , and density of the coolant, J, are constant.
(ii) Specific heat of the liquid, C, and of the coolant, CJ, are constant.

Because V is constant, the mass balance for the tank is:

dV

Energy balance for tank:

 where A is the heat transfer area (in ft2) between the process liquid and the
coolant.

Eqs.1 and 2 comprise the dynamic model for the system.

2.9

Additional assumptions:

i. The density and the specific heat C of the process liquid are
constant.
ii. The temperature of steam Ts is uniform over the entire heat
transfer area
iii. Ts is a function of Ps , Ts = f(Ps)

Mass balance for the tank:

Energy balance for the tank:

1C = qF 1C 2TF Tref 3 q1C 2T Tref 3 (2)

where: Tref is a constant reference temperature

A is the heat transfer area

Eq. 2 is simplified by substituting for (dV/dt) from Eq. 1, and replacing Ts

by f(Ps), to give

Then, Eqs. 1 and 3 constitute the dynamic model for the system.

Assume that the feed contains only A and B, and no C. Component

balances for A, B, C over the reactor give.

V = qi cBi qcB + V (k1e E1 / RT c A k2e E2 / RT cB ) (2)

dcC
V = qcC + Vk2e E2 / RT cB (3)

An overall mass balance over the jacket indicates that qc = qci because the
volume of coolant in jacket and the density of coolant are constant.

Energy balance for the reactor:

where MA, MB, MC are molecular weights of A, B, and C, respectively

SA, SB, SC are specific heats of A, B, and C.
U is the overall heat transfer coefficient
A is the surface area of heat transfer

b) Cv = = = = 2.13 1/2
h 2.25 1.5 m

c) Feedforward control

2-11
Rearrange Eq. 5 to get the feedforward (FF) controller relation,

w2 = C v hR w1 where hR = 2.25 m

w2 = (2.13)(1.5) w1 = 3.2 w1 (6)

Note that Eq. 6, for a value of w1 = 2.0, gives

w2 = 3.2 1.2 = 2.0 kg/s which is the desired value.

If the actual FF controller follows the relation, w2 = 3.2 1.1w1 (flow

transmitter 10% higher), w2 will change as soon as the FF controller is
turned on,

w2 = 3.2 1.1 (2.0) = 3.2 2.2 = 1.0 kg/s

(instead of the correct value, 1.2 kg/s)

Then C v h = 2.13 h = 2.0 + 1.0

or h= = 1.408 and h = 1.983 m (instead of 2.25 m)
2.13

Error in desired level = 100% = 11.9%
2.25

The sensitivity does not look too bad in the sense that a 10% error in flow
measurement gives ~12% error in desired level. Before making this

2-12
 conclusion, however, one should check how well the operating FF
controller works for a change in w1 (e.g., w1 = 0.4 kg/s).

Time to reach leak point (h = 1 m) = 125.6 min.

1A = 56 q4 = 56 12676583 h 9 = 20 20 h 1 , h 1
dh

To check for overflow, one can simply find the level hm at which dh/dt =
0. That is the maximum value of level when no overflow occurs.

0 = 20 20 hm 1 or hm = 2 m

Thus, overflow does not occur for a leak occurring because hm < 2.25 m.

b) If x1 is suddenly changed from 0.5 to 0.6 without changing flowrates, then

level remains constant and Eq.3 can be solved analytically or numerically
to find the time to achieve 99% of the x3 response. From the material
balance, the final value of x3 = 0.555. Then,

Solving,

t = 47.42 min

c) If w1 is changed to 100 kg/min without changing any other input variables,

then x3 will not change and Eq. 1 can be solved to find the time to achieve
99% of the h response. From the material balance, the final value of the
tank level is h =1.446 m.

both Eqs. 1 and 3 will have to be solved simultaneously. Since
concentration does not appear in Eq. 1, we would anticipate no effect on
the h response.

A simple feedback strategy can be implemented where the growth rate

is controlled by manipulating the mass flow rate, F.

c) Washout occurs if dX/dt = 0 is negative for an extended period of time;

that is,

rg DX < 0 or <D

Thus, if < D the cells will be washed out.
