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.
1. In the given scenario the process variable is :
a temperature inside the
cabin
2. In the given , the manipulated variable is :
log fuel into the fire
3. In the given scenario, the set point is :
comfort level
4. The load disturbance is:
temperature outside the cabin

5. Under what circumstances does an open control loop exist? Select all options
that apply\
A, B, D
6. Under what circumstances does a closed control loop exist?
C and E
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.

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.

17. the forcing function is best described as : ramp

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

21. process gain is: 0.2 mm/psi

22. overshoot is 0.47
23. damping is 0.234
24. (tau) : 0.356 sec
25. derive:

R ( s)
0.2
=
2
P ( s ) 0.127 s +0.167 s +1
