Answer any one of the following. 6. a.

115 = 15

What is the necessity of control valve sizing? What are the factors that should be known for selecting a control valve? A control valve regulates the liquid flow of a tank. The water level is controlled in the tank at a level of 30 ft by regulating the outflow. The measured inflow varies from 0 to120 gallons.min-1. Calculate the CV for the control valve. Calculate the Cv of the valve for the process shown in the figure below.
