Transmittance overhead

T) Leakage reactance of transmitter-end transformer. Resistance of overhead lines of section B-B. 

In the absence of clouds, S can be related to the solar constant (1366 W m-2 Sc) and the atmospheric transmittance x (the fraction of sunlight transmitted when the sun is directly overhead), which ranges from 0.5 under hazy conditions at sea level to 0.8 for clear skies at higher elevations ... 

First, we add a PIDIncr controller to the flowsheet and make the appropriate connections and do not use a deadtime. It will be added later. The controller should be Reverse because the PVis the mole fraction isobutane impurity in the distillate stream and the OP is reboUer heat input. If too much isobutane is going overhead in the distillate, the reboiler heat input should be reduced. A composition transmitter range 0-0.05 mol fraction isobutane is used, as shown in Figure 7.30. 

For overhead level control via boilup, a dynamic analysis should be made to determine proper holdup and controller type. If level is cascaded to flow control, the flow transmitter should have a linear output with flow. If an orifice AP transmitter is used, this should be followed by a square root extractor. 

The distillate valve may be held closed by override A3 until overhead composition or temperature reaches a satisfactory value it may also be closed by high liquid level in the next process step. Reflux pump operation is made automatic by switch SI. As the condensate receiver level transmitter output increases above 3 psig, SI starts the pump. Similarly, if the reflux drum loses its level, the pump shuts down.
