The temperature of a catalysed exothermic reaction is being maintained at T1°C as it promotes generation of a particular product. It is proposed to control the temperature with a proportional only controller of gain Kc. The temperature dynamics of the reactor can be modelled as a mixture o a CSTR (1st order) and PFR (dead time) to changes either in inlet temperature, or in the heating/cooling jacket flowrate via

Transcribed Image Text:The temperature of a catalysed exothermic reaction is being maintained at T1°C as it promotes
generation of a particular product. It is proposed to control the temperature with a proportional
only controller of gain Kc. The temperature dynamics of the reactor can be modelled as a mixture of
a CSTR (1st order) and PFR (dead time) to changes either in inlet temperature, or in the
heating/cooling jacket flowrate via
Ke-tas
Ts+1
i)
Considering a change in inlet temperature show why a 1st order model for a
CSTR and a dead time model for a PFR are appropriate.
CSTR - continuous stirred tank reactor
PFR - plug flow reactor
