Chapter 1, Problem 1.7E
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

A feedback control method is to be proposed for the given distillation column along with a schematic diagram.

Concept introduction:

A control system is a system that regulates or monitors the behavior or working of other devices/systems using control loops. It can be used to control a single device or large industrial processes. There are two types of control system which can be used to control the processes. These are the feedback control system and the feedforward control system.

Feedback control systems consider the output of the system and then compares it with the desired value to adjust the measured value to provide accurate results whereas in the feedforward control system, disturbances are taken into account beforehand and they are rectified to control it from deviating from the desired set point.

Schematic representation of this control system using symbols, lines, and all the controlled, manipulated, and disturbance variables is known as control system diagrams.

Enumerate the various methods for catalyst preparation and discuss vividly any one of the methods
2. Design a spherical tank, with a wall thickness of 2.5 cm that will ensure that no more than 45 kg of hydrogen will be lost per year. The tank, which will operate at 500 °C, can be made from nickel, aluminum, copper, or iron (BCC). The diffusion coefficient of hydrogen and the cost per pound for each available material is listed in Table 1. Material Do (m2/s) Q (J/mol) Cost ($/kg) Nickel 5.5 x 10-7 37.2 16.09 Aluminium 1.6 x 10-5 43.2 2.66 Copper 1.1 x 10-6 39.3 9.48 Iron (BCC) 1.2 × 10-7 15.1 0.45 Table 1: Diffusion data for hydrogen at 500 °C and the cost of material.
A flash drum at 1.0 atm is separating a feed consisting of methanol and water. If the feed rate is 2000 kg/h and the feed is 45 wt % methanol, what are the values of L (kg/h), V (kg/h), yM, xM (weight fractions), and Tdrum if 35% by weight of the feed is vaporized? VLE data are in Table 2-8.
