PE3601 Process Control and Instrumentation Syllabus – Anna University Regulation 2021
OBJECTIVE:
To introduce open and closed loop systems and its responses, control loop components and stability of control systems along with instrumentation.
UNIT I INSTRUMENTATION
Principles of measurements and classification of process instruments, measurement of temperature, pressure, fluid flow, liquid weight and weight flow rate, viscosity, pH, concentration, electrical and thermal conductivity, humidity of gases.
UNIT II OPEN LOOP SYSTEMS
Laplace transformation and its application in process control. First order systems and their transient response for standard input functions, first order systems in series, linearization and its application in process control, second order systems and their dynamics; transportation lag.
UNIT III CLOSED LOOP SYSTEMS
Closed loop control systems, development of block diagram for feed-back control systems, servo and regulatory problems, transfer function for controllers and final control element, principles of pneumatic and electronic controllers, transient response of closed-loop control systems and their stability.
UNIT IV FREQUENCY RESPONSE
Introduction to frequency response of closed-loop systems, control system design by frequency response techniques, Bode diagram, stability criterion, tuning of controllers Z-N tuning rules, CC tuning rules.
UNIT V ADVANCED CONTROL SYSTEMS
Introduction to advanced control systems, cascade control, feed forward control, Smith predictor, control of distillation towers and heat exchangers, introduction to computer control of chemical processes.
TOTAL: 45 PERIODS
OUTCOMES:
On completion of the course students are expected to
CO1:Understand process industry as it allows real-time measurement and control of process variables such as levels, flow, pressure, temperature, pH, and humidity.
CO2: Develop transient models for chemical processes using material and/or energy balance equations by incorporating constitutive relationships and seek their solution using Laplace Transforms.
CO3: Develop transient models for chemical processes using material and/or energy balance equations by incorporating constitutive relationships and seek their solution using Laplace Transforms.
CO4: Understand Frequency response of control systems and tune the PID controllers
CO5: Appreciate the performance augmentation of PID controllers by using advanced control strategies such as Cascade, Feed forward, Dead time compensation.
