Interpretation:
The concepts of feedback and feedforward control system as used by a bicycle rider while riding a bicycle is to be described.
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.

Calculate the head loss due to friction?arrow_forwardA gas pipeline, NPS 20 with 0.500 in. wall thickness, transports natural gas (specific gravity = 0.6) at a flow rate of 250 MMSCFD at an inlet temperature of 60°F. Assuming isothermal flow, calculate the velocity of gas at the inlet and outlet of the pipe if the inlet pressure is 1000 psig and the outlet pressure is 850 psig. The base pressure and base temperature are 14.7 psia and 60°F, respectively. Assume compressibility factor Z = 1.00. What is the erosional velocity for this pipeline based on the above data and a compressibility factor Z = 0.90?arrow_forward
- H.W.1 : The elementary liquid phase reaction A + BR + S is conducted in a setup consisting of a mixed reactor, into which two reactant solutions are introduced, followed by a plug flow reactor. The component B is used in a large excess so that the reaction is first order with respect to A. Various ways to increase the production rate are suggested, one of which is to reverse the order of these units. How would this change/affect conversion?arrow_forwardH.W.2 : The kinetics of the liquid phase decomposition of A is studied in two mixed flow reactors in series, the second unit having twice the volume of the first one. At steady state with a feed with CA, = 1 mol/l and mean residence time of 96 s in the first reactor, the concentration of A in the first unit (reactor) is 0.5 mol/l and in the second is 0.25 mol/l. Find the rate equation for the decomposition of A.arrow_forwardA natural gas consists of the following molar composition: C1 = 0.871, C2 0.084, C3 = 0.023, CO2 = 0.016 and H2S = 0.006.
