    The document contains instructions for a closed-book exam on Process Control II taken by chemical engineering students. It provides details on the exam such as its date, time, location, and instructions for candidates. The exam consists of two questions involving process control concepts like steady state gain matrix, RGA, control pairing, transfer function models of distillation columns, loop pairing, decoupling, and dynamic responses to set-point changes. Students are asked to show their steps and work for full marks.

    Q1.

    Hot and cold streams (F1 and F2) are used to control the temperature (T3) and the flow rate
    (F3) of the outlet stream.
    F1
    T1=5 oC

    F3
    Mixer T3

    F2
    T2=50 oC

    A simplified process models describing the system may be given as


    F3 = F1 + F2
    T1 F1 + T2 F2
    T3 =
    F3

    At steady state, the following values are maintained:

    T1 = 5 o C
    F1 = 200 kgh −1
    T2 = 50 o C
    F2 = 400 kgh −1
    T3 = 35 o C
    F3 = 600 kgh −1

    (a) Calculate the steady state gain matrix


    (b) RGA
    (c) Recommend a control paring
    Q2

    The following transfer function matrix has been identified as a model for a distillation column

     12.8e − s − 18.9e −3 s 
     21.0 s + 1 
    G ( s ) = 16.7 s−+7 s1
     6.6e − 19.4e −3 s 
    10.9 s + 1 14.4 s + 1 

    Note: In all of the simulations, show y and u.

    (a) [4 marks] For 1-1/2-2 loop paring, simulate the closed-loop system response to a step change
    of 0.75 in the y1 set-point (no set-point change is desired in y2.) Use
    K c1 = 0.47 , τ I 1 = 3.26; K c 2 = −0.088 , τ I 2 = 9.35

    (b) [4 marks] Design a steady-state de-coupler; simulate the closed-loop system response to a
    step change of 0.75 in the y1 set-point (no set-point change is desired in y2.) Use
    0.30 , τ I 1 =
    K c1 = −0.05 , τ I 2 =
    1/ 0.307; K c 2 = 1/ 0.107

    (c) [4 marks] Simulate part (b) for the case 0 ≤ u1 ≤ 0.15 , while u2 was unconstrained as in
    part (b). You may use the ‘Saturation/Discontinuities’ block in Simulink for this.

    (d) [1 marks] Are you agree with the performance in (c)? If No, could you suggest/name a better
    control strategy?

    (e) [4 marks] Design a dynamic de-coupler; simulate the closed-loop system response to a step
    change of 0.75 in y1 set point (no set-point change is desired in y2.) Use the same controllers
    of part (b).

    (f) [3 marks] Suppose that the ‘real process’ is:


     15e −2 s − 25e −4 s 
     16 s + 1 
    G ( s ) = 15s−+5 s1
     6e − 22e − 4 s 
     9 s + 1 12 s + 1 
    Implement on this real process the same dynamic de-couplers used in part (e), along with the
    same set of two-single loop controllers; compare the response to the same set-point change in
    y1 with that obtained in part (c). Comment on the effect of plant/model mismatch on the
    performance of this set of dynamic de-couplers.
