1How would you measure:

a) The temperature of a fermentation broth

b) The mass flow of a gas at high temperature and pressure
c) The volumetric flow rate of a slurry of diced carrots in water
d) The level of liquid in a crystallizer
e) The feed rate of solids to a mixing tank.

5.2

a) What alarms would you add to the vaporizer control scheme sown in figure 5.13? Indicate
whether the alarm would signal high or low conditions, what the alarm would signify, and
what operator response would be required in each case. What operator response would
be required in each case.

b) Which alarms should activate a shutdown trip, and which valves should be closed

5.3Sketch a control scheme for the reactor section shown in figure 2.17. The feeds are liquids and
the reactors operate under pressure with inert nitrogen in the vapor space above the reagents.
The objective is to achieve full conversion of feed A by the outlet of the last reactor.
