Q4.
In ethylene glycol production plant, ethylene oxide is removed from water-glycols
mixture in a flash column operating constant temperature of 105C and a constant
pressure of 1atm. At steady state condition, the temperature and flow rate of feed
stream are 55C and 113kmolmin, respectively, the flowrates of vapor and liquid
products are 72.74kmolmin and 40.26kmolmin. The amount of liquid mixture in
flash column is 120kmol. The flowrates of feed and product streams and pressure
don't change with time. Assume that only controlled variable is operating
temperature of flash column. The temperature of feed stream acts as a disturbance
and temperature of flash column is controlled by adjusting the steam flow rate.
The specific heat of capacities of feed stream, vapor product and liquid product are
81.55,35.53 and 101.9kJkmolK. (The enthalpies of streams can be obtained directly
by multiplying specific heat of capacity and temperature of corresponding stream). The
latent heat of condensation of steam is 2257kJkg. Transfer function is to be
developed by neglecting change in the flowrates of vapor and liquid products with
temperature.
a. Obtain the transfer functions relating controlled variable and manipulated
variable, Gp(s) and the controlled variable and disturbance, Gd(s).
b. Draw the block diagram of closed loop response (Gm(s)=Gf(s)=1).
c. Obtain the expression of closed loop response as a function of Gc.
d. Determine the offset when the disturbance is changed with unit step function if
PID controller is used with a gain of 5, reset time of 0.5 and derivative time of 0.1
min.
