controlled variables - these are the variables which
quantify the performance or quality of the final
product, which are also called output variables.

Chapter 1 Illustrative Example: Blending system
Notation:
• w1, w2 and w are mass flow rates
Control Objective:
Keep x at a desired value (or “set point”) xsp, despite variations in
x1(t). Flow rate w2 can be adjusted for this purpose.
Terminology:
• Controlled variable (or “output variable”): x
Overall balance:
0 w1 w2 w (1-1)

• Because Eq. (1-3) applies only at steady state, it is not clear
how effective the control law in (1-5) will be for transient
conditions.

Feedback Control:
• Distinguishing feature: measure the controlled variable
22
• It is important to make a distinction between negative feedback
and positive feedback.
Engineering Usage vs. Social Sciences
• Advantages:
Corrective action is taken regardless of the source of
Chapter 1
the disturbance.
Reduces sensitivity of the controlled variable to
disturbances and changes in the process (shown later).
• Disadvantages:
No corrective action occurs until after the disturbance
has upset the process, that is, until after x differs from
xsp.
Very oscillatory responses, or even instability… 23
Feedforward Control:
Distinguishing feature: measure a disturbance
variable
• Advantage:
Correct for disturbance before it upsets the process.
Chapter 1
• Disadvantage:
Must be able to measure the disturbance.
No corrective action for unmeasured disturbances.
Process model is required

Why Process control?
• The concept of chemical process control
introduce several examples to illustrate the
necessity for process modelling as we begin
our study of process dynamics and control.
30
Why Process control?
• Increased product throughput
• Increased yield of higher valued products
• Decreased energy consumption
Chapter 1
• Decreased pollution
• Decreased off-spec product
• Increased Safety
• Extended life of equipment
• Improved Operability
• Decreased production labor
31
Control System
• Control systems are used to maintain process
conditions at their desired values by
manipulating certain process variables to
adjust the variables of interest.

• Proportional control: Controller should change the heat input
by an amount proportional to the error.
• The larger we make the proportionality constant for the
proportional controller (called the controller gain), the
smaller the steady-state error will become.
• Some residual steady state error (called offset ).
38
Improvement may be obtained over proportional control
by adding integral control

Block Diagram (gives a relationship
between variables)
• It indicates the flow of information around the control system
and the function of each part of the system.

Energy balance
Stream 1 (at 25 °C) mixes with stream 2 (at 55 °C), producing
stream 3, the feed to the heating vessel.
