Problem 1

A mixing process consists of a single stirred-tank instrumented as shown in Figure P.1.

The concentration of a single species A in the feed stream varies. PID controller attempts
to compensate for this by varying the flow rate of pure A through the control valve. The
transmitter dynamics are negligible.

Figure P.1

Process
(i) The volume is constant (5 m3).
(ii) The feed flow rate is constant ( q F = 7 m 3 / min) .
(iii) The flow rate of the A stream varies but is small compared to q F ( q A = 0.5 m 3 / min)
(iv) cF = 50 kg / m 3 and cA = 800 kg / m 3 .
(v) All densities are equal and constant.

Transfer line (Be careful)

(i) The transfer line is 20 m long and has 0.5 m inside diameter.

(ii) Pump volume can be neglected.

Transmitter dynamics are negligible.

(a) Develop a dynamic model for this process. State all assumptions and list all process
variables.
(b) Derive an expression for each transfer function and substitute numerical values (Do
not forget the controller and the control valve).
(c) Draw a block diagram for the controlled process and write down all possible
variables on it.
(d) Calculate PID controller settings using Ziegler-Nichols tuning relations.
