1.4

Consider a system of two continuous stirred tank reactors in series (Figure P1.6) where the following endothermic reaction takes place: A + catalyst B (a) Identify the control objectives for the operation of the two CSTRs (b) Classify the variables of the systems into inputs and outputs and subsequently classify the inputs into disturbances and manipulated variables and the outputs into measured and unmeasured outputs. Is this a SISO or a MIMO system? Develop a feedback control configuration that satisfies your objectives using a composition analyser at the exit stream of the second CSTR

(a)

P.T.O Develop an inferential control configuration that uses temperatures and flow rates only, assuming that a composition analyser is not available.
