Proportional-only

Integral mode This improves on the proportional-only control by repeating the proportional action within a unit time while a deviation from set point exists. The regulating unit is only allowed to be at rest when set point and... 

Derivative mode This improves on the proportional-only control by responding solely to the rate of change of the deviation but not in any way to the actual value of the deviation. Derivative action is always used with proportional control. 

Taft was also able to isolate steric effects. For the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of esters in aqueous acetone, long (kJh was shown to be insensitive to polar effects. In cases where resonance interaction was absent, this value was proportional only to steric effects (and any others that are not field or resonance). The equation is... 

Let us describe the solid as having a constant electron density for all energies. Of course, such metals do not exist, but the situation gives us the simplest case. The matrix element Vat has also been assumed to be constant, meaning that A(e) is proportional only to the electron density of the metal. 

The over-all errors caused by solvents and fats reach significant proportions only when determinations are being made at the very limit of sensitivity of this test. The authors have been able to measure less than 1 microgram of methoxychlor with errors not in excess of 15%. 

As illustrated in Figure 29, the proportional only control mode responds to the decrease in demand, but because of the inherent characteristics of proportional control, a residual offset error remains. Adding the derivative action affects the response by allowing only one small overshoot and a rapid stabilization to the new control point. Thus, derivative action provides increased stability to the system, but does not eliminate offset error.

The level controller is a proportional-only feedback controller. 

A. PROPORTIONAL ACTION. A proportional-only feedback controller changes its output signal, CO, in direct proportion to the error signal, E, which is the difference between the setpoint, SP, and the process measurement signal, PM,... 

Tray 4 temperature on the Lehigh distillation column i controlled by a pneumatic Pf controller with a 2-mipute reset time and a 50 percent proportional band. Temperature controller output (COr) adjusts the Ktpoint of a steam flow controller (reset time 0.1 min and proportional band 100 percent). Column base level is controlled by a pneumatic proportional-only controller setting bottoms product withdrawal rate. 

Three vertical cylindrical tanka (10 feet high, 10 feet diameter) are used in a process. Two tanks are process tanks and are level controlled by manipulating outflows using proportional-only level controllers (PB 100). Level transmitter Spans are 10 feet. Control valves are linear, 50 percent open at the normal liquid rate of 1000 gpm, air-to-open, constant pressure drop. These two process tanks are 50 percent full at the normal liquid rale of 1000 gpm. 

Use proportional-only level controls in surge tanks and column bases to smooth out disturbances. 

Show that a proportional-only level controller on a tank will give zero sieadystate error for a step change in level setpoint. 

J1. Two tOO-barrel tanks are available to use as surge volume to filter liquid flow rate disturbances in a petroleum refinery. Average throughput is 14,400 barrels per day. Should these tanks be piped up for parallel operation or for series operation Assume proportional-only level controllers. 

Figure 10.St>,c gives tbe root locus plots for two values of the reset lime constant z,. With Zj = 4.5 in Fig. lO.gt), the ultimate gain is reduced to 5i (compared to the ultimate gain of 64 for a proportional only controller), and the gain that gives a closedloop damping coelTicient of 0.316 is 15. There is a first-order root on the real axis near the origin.

The openloop transfer function relating steam flow rate to temperature in a feed preheater has been found to consist of a steadystate gain K, and a flrst-order lag with the time constant T. The lag associated with temperature measurement is t . A proportional-only temperature controller is used. 

Example 11.1. Consider the process with a series cascade control system sketched in Fig 11.le. The secondary controller B, and the primary controller Bj are both proportional only. 

A proportional-only controller is used to control the liquid level in a tank by manipulating the outflow. It has been proposed that the sfeadystate offset of the proportional-only controller could be eliminated by using the combined feedforward-feedback system sketched below. 

When a proportional-only feedback controller is used, the ultimate gain is 2. Outline your procedure for finding the optimum value of tj, if a proportional-derivative controller is used. The optimum tj> wilt give the maximum value for the ultimate gain. 

The control valve on the steam has linear installed characteristics and passes 500 Ibi min when wide open. An electronic temperature transmitter (range 50-250°F) is used, A lemp>efature measurement lag of 10 seconds and a heat trans fer lag of 20 seconds can be assumed. A proportional-only temperature contioller is used. 

If a proportional-only controller is used, what value of controller gain will give a maximum closedioop log modulus of - -2 dB ... 

J6. The frequency response data given below were obtained by pulse-testing a closed-loop system that contained a proportional-only controller with a proportional band of 25. Controller setpoint was pulsed and the process measurement signal was recorded as the output signal. 

J0. A process has an openloop transfer function that contains a positive pole at -H 1/t, a negative pole at — 10/t and a gain of unity. If a proportional-only controller is used, find the two values of controller gain that give a maximum closedloop log modulus of -1-2 decibels. 

Exarngde 15.15. Determine the dosedloop characteristic equation for the system whose openloop transfer function matrix was derived in Example 15.14. Use a diagonal controller structure (two SI SO.controllers) that are proportional only. 

Reactions can be catalyzed by acid or base in two different ways, called general and specific catalysis. If the rate of an acid-catalyzed reaction run in a solvent S is proportional to [SH j, the reaction is said to be subject to specific acid catalysis, the acid being the lyonium ion SH. The acid that is put into the solvent may be stronger or weaker than SH , but the rate is proportional only to the (SH ] that is actually present in the solution (derived from S + HA SH + A ). The identity of HA makes no difference except insofar as it determines the position of equilibrium and hence the (SH ]. Most measurements have been made in water, where SH is H30 . 

The total pair-wise entanglement contribution is simply the sum of dS for strand pairs with all possible sets of internal coordinates. In a network of N strands there will be N(N — l)/2 such pairs. However, classification is only significant for pairs that are relatively close. Pairs separated by more than a few radii of gyration will belong to unentangled class exclusively. This assures that the total entropy change will be proportional only to N.
