Imagine you are in a cabin in front of a small fire on a cold winter evening.

You feel uncomfortably cold,

so you throw another log into the fire.

Process variable is not measured

Process is not compared
Process variable is measured and compared to a set point
Action taken without regard to process variable
Action taken with regard to process variable condition

7. A device that translated mechanical signal to electrical signal is: transducer

8. A device that converts a reading from a transducer into a standard signal and pass on that signal
to a monitor or controller: transmitter
9. Which of the ff. is the most common final control element in process control industries: valve
10. Controller action that is tied to the rate of chance in the error is: proportional derivative
controller

A process liquid level needs to be held within 5 ft of 150ft in a large tank. A pressure transmitter
monitors the liquids level using a pressure reading and send the result to a controller. The controller
compares the level reading to the set point and opens or closes an inflow or outflow pipe depending on
the liquid level. Keeping the mind the given scenario

13. inferred process variable : level

14.manipulated variable: flow of liquid to the tank
15. measured variable: pressure
16. set point: 145 ft

A thermometer having a time constant of 0.2 min is placed in a temperature bath and after the
thermometer comes to equilibrium with the bath, the temp of the bath us increased linearly with the
time at a rate of 1 deg/min.

Draw a sketch of the forcing function and the response in one graph
19. the ultimate value of the H(t) is: 0.2
20. H(t) is equals to: 0.2e-5t -0.2+1
