Q1: Consider part of a control loop, which excludes the
transmitter, consisting of a process, a controller and a
control valve which may be represented by two dead times of
0.5 min each and three exponential lags of 0.8 min., 1.0
min. and 1.5 min. respectively.

We wish to express this system as an overall first order
plus dead time (FOPLD) model ie gain, time constant and
process dead time. (We will see later that this is often
done, to simplify controller tuning). For this exercise,
gain is considered to be 1.0.

(A) If the transmitter is a flow transmitter whose
behaviour can be described by a dead time of 0.2 min. and
an exponential lag of 0.5 min. in terms of the overall dead
time and overall first order lag how can the system
behaviour be approximated ?

Overall dead time =
Overall time constant =

(B) If the transmitter is a temperature transmitter with a
temperature sensor in a protecting well whose behaviour can
be described by a dead time of 0.7 min. and an exponential
lag of 15 min. how can the overall system behaviour be
approximated now?

Overall dead time =
Overall time constant =

A pressure differential gauge type of instrument has a manifold with 2 isolation valves (hp and lp),2 vents(1 each for hp and lp) and 1 equalizing valve. Determine the position of each valve(either fully closed or fully open) when troboulshooting to: 1. zero the transmitter. 2. determine if there is a block in the impulse line. 3. determine if the gauge is functioning properly. The process fluid is water.

A pressure transmitter with a range of 0-100 bar.The accuracy of the instrument is 1% of upper range value? The pressure indicating transmitter is showing the system pressure is 50 bar. b. When you include the error, what is the minimum possible pressure in our fuel gas system? i. 49.5 bar ii. 49 bar iii. 1 bar iv. 0.5 bar We want to change the filter cartridge. We must depressure the fuel gas system. c. After we depressure the system in preparation for maintenance, the transmitter displays a pressure of +0.1 bar. At this time, what is the possible range of pressures in our fuel system? i. +0.099 to +0.101 bar ii. 0 to +0.2 bar iii. -0.1 to +0.3 bar iv. -0.9 to +1.1 bar
