(a)
Interpretation:
The manipulated variable in a thermostat controlled home heating system is to be identified.
Concept introduction:
A control system is a system which regulates or monitors the behavior or working of other devices/systems using control loops. It can be used to control single device or large industrial processes. There are two types of control system which can be used to control the processes. These are feedback control system and feedforward control system.
Controlled variables (CVs) are the process variables which can be controlled, and its desired value is known as the set point.
Manipulated variables (MVs) are the process variables which are adjusted by the controller to keep its value close to the set point.
Disturbance variables (DVs) are the process variable which affects the controlled variables, but they cannot be manipulated and are associated with any changes in the operating environment of the ongoing process.
(b)

If the total composition of the mixture is 10. mol% carbon monoxide, what will bethe pressure limits of VLE for this mixture at 25°C? show all the calculation stepsarrow_forwardA passive solar house was determined to lose heat to the outdoors at an average rate of 50,000 kJ/h during a typical 10-hour winter night. The house is to be maintained at 22°C at all times. Passive heating is accomplished by 50 glass containers each containing 20 L of water that is heated to 80°C during the day by absorbing solar energy. A 15-kW back-up electric resistance heater turns on whenever necessary to keep the house at 22°C. (a) How many hours does the electric heating system run during a typical winter night? (b) How many hours would the electric heater run during a typical winter night if the house did not have passive solar heating?
