SHC4032 Process Control Coursework: Modelling and Systems Analysis Assignment
For a change, this assignment is to be handwritten with additional files with results from
MATLAB/Simulink and MS Excel. Ensure that all of your writing is legible .
Ensure no spelling, punctuation or grammatical errors when writing your answers.
For a couple of questions, you will be required to utilize the digits from your student ID number. For example, Student ID β 1234567, when the question requests (ID4), use the 4th digit of your ID number. If the digit is a 0, then utilize the number 1 as a substitute.
Present all equations, substitutions and place a box around the final answer, where applicable.
A model for a batch reactor has been derived as follows:
ππ¦
ππ‘ = (πΌπ·5)π¦ β (πΌπ·6)π¦2
ππ₯
ππ‘ = (πΌπ·7)π¦
where the initial values of x and y are 0 and 0.03, respectively.
Using MS Excel, determine y(1) using the following:
a) Eulerβs method
b) Fourth Order Runge Kutta method
The following chemical reaction takes place in a CSTR:

where the rate constants are as follows:
k1 = (ID4) minβ1 k2 = (ID5) minβ1
k3 = (ID6) minβ1 k4 = (ID7) minβ1
Determine the following:
a) Rate expressions for components A, B and C.
b) Final steady state concentrations of Component B and C using the Euler method.
Determine π¦(2) from the following 2nd order differential equation:
π2π¦
ππ‘2 + ππ¦
ππ‘ + π¦ = (πΌπ·7)
where π¦(0) = π¦β²(0) = 0. Use:
a) Euler method
b) Fourth Order Runge Kutta method
(Bequette, 2003) Use the initial and final value theorems to determine the initial and final values of the process output for a unit step input change for the following transfer functions:
a) 5π +12
7π +4
b) (7π 2+4π +2)(6π +4)
(4π 2+4π +1)(16π 2+4π +1)
c) 4π 2+2π +1
8π 2+4π +0.5
(Bequette, 2003) Derive the closed loop transfer function between L(s)and Y(s) for the following control block diagram (this is known as a feed forward / feedback controller).
Figure 0-1 Feedforward / Feedback Control Loop
a) Describe how you would be able to check for stability for this closed loop system.
b) Will the stability of this system be any different than that of the standard feedback system? Why?
(Bequette, 2003) A process has the following transfer function:
πΊπ(π ) = 2(β3π + 1)
(5π + 1)
a) Using a P-controller, find the range of the controller gain that will yield a stable closed loop system.
b) Simulate the process with the P controller to confirm the range of stability as determined in part (a).
Consider the open-loop unstable process transfer function:
πΊπ(π ) = 1
(π + 2)(π β 1)
a) Find the range of KC for a P-only controller that will stabilize this process.
b) As it turns out, πΎπΆ = 4 will yield a stable closed-loop (does this match with your answer in part (a)?). Typically, there is a measurement lag in the feedback loop.
Assuming a first-order lag on the measurement, find the maximum measurement time constant which is allowed before the system (with πΎπΆ = 4) is destabilized.
c) Confirm all of your calculations with the system reproduced using
MATLAB/Simulink. Print out your results.
A PI controller is used on the following second order process:
πΊπ(π ) = πΎπ
π2π 2 + 2πππ + 1
The process parameters are:
πΎπ = 1, π = 2, π = 0.7
The tuning parameters are:
πΎπΆ = 5, ππΌ = 0.2
a) Determine if the process is closed-loop stable.
b) Reproduce your results using MATLAB/Simulink and print out your results.
(Marlin, 2000) The process shown below consists of a mixing tank, mixing pipe, and continuously stirred tank reactor. The following assumptions are applied to the system:
Both tanks are well mixed and have constant volume and temperature.
All pipes are short with negligible transportation delay.
III. All flows and densities are constant.
The first tank is a mixing tank.
The mixing pipe has no accumulation, and the concentration, CA3, is constant.
The second tank, CSTR, with π΄ β πππππ’ππ‘π , and ππ΄ = βππ΄πΆπ΄
