Modeling (relation between inputs and outputs of process)
We can tune the controller only after the process steady-state and
dynamic characteristics are known.
Types of model
• White box (first principles) n black box (empirical)
• Linear n non-linear
• Static n dynamic
• Distributed n lumped
• Time domain n frequency domain
• Continuous n discrete

1.
Dynamic response of a CSTR to
a step in the inlet concentration.
2.
The reactant concentration
should never go above 0.85
mole/m3

0.83 mole/m3, would a person
have enough time to respond?
What would a correct response
be?
CA
1.

Degrees-of-freedom: One equation, one variable(CA), two external
variables (F and CAo) and two parameters (V and k).
Therefore the DOF is zero, and the model is exactly specified.

2. Control Valve Characteristics : How we must select the
correct valve characteristics (Linear or Equal percentage)
The correct selection requires a detailed analysis of the installed
characteristics
As a rule of thump:
 Choose a linear valve if at design conditions the valve is taking more
than half of the total pressure drop (Δpv > 0.5 Δpo ).
 Choose an equal percentage valve if at design conditions the valve is
taking less than half of the total pressure drop (Δpv < 0.5 Δpo ).
 Equal percentage valves are probably the most common ones.

3. Control Valve Capacity
The control valve capacity is : The flow in U.S. gallons per minute (gpm) of
water that flows through a valve at a pressure drop of 1 psi across the valve
Liquid Flow:
f (t )  C v (t )
Dpv
Gf
Where: f(t) = volume flow rate (gpm)
Δpv = presuure drop across the valve (psi)
Gf = specicific gravity
