Solution
Process. The feed has a density of 68.0 lb/ft3 and a heat capacity cp of 0.80 Btu/lboF. The
volume V of liquid in the reactor is maintained constant at 120 ft3. The coil consists of 205 ft
of 4-in. schedule 40 steel pipe that weighs 10.8 lb/ft and has a heat capacity of 0.12 Btu/lboF
and an outside diameter of 4.5 in. The overall heat transfer coefficient U, based on the
outside are of the coil, has been estimated as 2.1 Btu/minft2oF. The saturated steam is
available at 30 psia; it can be assumed that its latent heat of condensation is constant at 966
Btu/lb. It can also be assumed that the inlet temperature Ti is constant.
Design Conditions. The feed flow F at design condition is 15 ft3/min, and its temperature Ti
is 100oF. The contents of the tank must be maintained at a temperature T of 150oF. Possible
disturbances are changes in feed rate and temperature.
Temperature Sensor and Transmitter. The temperature sensor has a calibrated range of
100 to 200oF and a time constant T of 0.75 min.
Control Valve. The control valve is to be designed for 100% overcapacity, and pressure drop
variation can be neglected. The valve is an equal percentage valve with a rangeability
parameter of 50, f(x) = x-1 = 50x-1. The actuator has a time constant v of 0.20 min.

4. A liquid stream enters tank 1 at a volumetric flow rate F in cfm and contains reactant A at
a concentration of C0 [mol A/ft3]. Reactant A decomposes in the tanks according to the
irreversible chemical reaction
AB
The reaction is first order with reaction rate constant k1 and k2 for tank 1 and tank 2
respectively. The reaction is to be carried out in a series of two continuous stirred-tank
reactors. The tanks are maintained at different temperatures with tank 2 at a higher
temperature. We will neglect any changes in physical properties due to chemical reaction.
The purpose of the control system is to maintain C2, the concentration of A leaving tank 2 at
some desired value in spite of variations in the inlet concentration C0. This will be
accomplished by adding a stream of pure A to tank 1 through a control valve using a
proportional controller. A portion of the liquid leaving tank 2 is continuously withdrawn
through a sample line at a rate of 0.1 cfm. The sample line has a length of 50 ft and the cross-
sectional area of the line is 0.001 ft2.

6.2 Determine the Z-N and the C-C settings for the PI control system shown below.

The format of the PID controller block from Simulink is Gc,Simulink(s) = K + I/s + Ds. Without
integral and derivative actions, I = 0 and D = 0.

7.1 The formula for the flow of saturated steam through a control valve is
In this equation, P1 is upstream pressure (psia) and P2 is downstream pressure (psia). The
temperature of the steam-cooled reactor shown below is 285oF. The heat that must be
transferred from the reactor into the steam generation system is 25×106 Btu/h. The overall
heat transfer coefficient for the cooling coils is 300 Btu/hft2oF. The steam discharges into a
25-psia steam header. The enthalpy difference between saturated steam and liquid condensate
is 1000 Btu/lb. The vapor pressure of water can be approximated by
