Final Exam

Duration: Two Hours

1- Explain with the net sketch the function of On-Off Controller in Control circuit. 2- State the types of controller and explain the effect of each element? 3- State two types temperature sensor response, explain with sketch? 4- What are the principles of analog signal conditioning? 5- List the guideline for analog signal conditioning design and explain two of them. 6- At t=0 a temperature sensor was suddenly changed from 25o C to 100o C. The sensor output voltage given by the expression V=(0.06 )*[T-20]. The table below gives the voltage measured and the times. Determine the average time constant of the sensor and the expected reading after one second? t (seconds) 0 V (volts) 0.3 0.1 1.8 0.2 2.8 0.3 3.4 0.4 3.9 0.5 4.2

7- Explain one of the thermal safety devices in power station, using sketch when you need that? 8- State the difference between analog and digital control explain by example.

9- The

primary control loop of a nuclear power plant includes a time delay due to the time necessary to transport the fluid from the reactor to the measurement point is show in in the figure. The transfer function of controller is transfer function of the reactor is G(s)= suitable value of k1 and k2 and explain the answer. G1(s)= (k1 +k2/s) .The select a
