Can condensate control in a reboiler cause water hammer problems?..

Answer / Savinay Kumar

Yes, improper condensate control in a reboiler can potentially lead to water hammer issues. Water hammer occurs when a rapid change in the flow velocity of a liquid is accompanied by a build-up of pressure. In the context of a reboiler, if the condensate is not drained off quickly enough or is allowed to accumulate and then discharge rapidly, it can create water hammer effects.

PROCESS CONTROL - EXAMPLE 6.1 : In a Laplace Transform Table, the Laplace transfer function of f(t) is F(s). When d(t) = f(t) then 1 = F(s). When x(t) = f(t) then X(s) = F(s). If d(t) is the impulse of a spring when d(t) = kx(t), then derive the equation for the impulse of a spring as X(s) in term of k. Next question : A controller has a transfer function a and the other controller has a transfer function b. The overall transfer function of both controllers is ab. What is the transfer function overall when both controllers have similar transfer function 1 / (Cs + k)?
