Question 14.27: The dynamic behavior of the heat exchanger shown in Fig. E14...

The dynamic behavior of the heat exchanger shown in Fig. E14.27 can be described by the following transfer functions (H. S. Wilson and L. M. Zoss, ISA J., 9, 59 (1962)):

Process:

\frac{T^{\prime}}{W_{s}^{\prime}}=\frac{2^{\circ} F / lb / min }{(0.432 s+1)(0.017 s+1)}

Control valve:

\frac{X^{\prime}}{P^{\prime}}=\frac{0.047 in / psi }{0.083 s+1} \quad \frac{W_{s}^{\prime}}{X^{\prime}}=112 \frac{ lb }{ min in }

Temperature sensor-transmitter:

\frac{P^{\prime}}{T^{\prime}}=\frac{0.12 psi /{ }^{\circ} F }{0.024 s+1}

The valve lift x is measured in inches. Other symbols are defined in Fig. E14.27.

(a) Find the Ziegler-Nichols settings for a PI controller.

(b) Calculate the corresponding gain and phase margins.
