MONTHLY TEST I
Date : 11.01.11 Time : 8.40 AM to 10.10

PART A (5 X 2 = 20)

1. List two important advantages of automatic process control

2. Define servo and regulator operations.
3. What is the difference between continuous & batch process system.
4. Mention the causes for dead time in a process
5. What is the difference between interacting and non interacting system.

PART B ( 16 X 2+8 = 40)

1. a. Develop the mathematical model for the system shown in figure a & b.(16)

OR
b. i.What is inverse response?Explain its behavior with dynamic systems(8)
ii.What is the need for mathematical modelling for process control. obtain the mathematical
model for first order thermal process(8)
2. a. i.Explain the PI control mode. Also explain how offset is eliminated in PI controller.(8)
ii.Discuss how stability is affected for integral control(8)
OR
b. i) What is ‘cycling’ in the process output? In which control mode it occurs?(2)
5
ii) A second order process with a transfer function G ( s )= is to be controlled
( 10 s+1 )( 3 s+1)
by a proportional controller. Find the value of ‘kp’ required, so that the offset value off-set
 due to unit step change in set point is 5% of steady state value of the controlled variable.
(10)
iii) A proportional controller in a flow loop has a chart scale of 20 to 170lpm. If the
controller output is14mA at 100lpm, find the proportional band (in%) (4)

3. a (i) Describe PD,PI Control Actions with its Advantages and disadvantages.(8)

(OR)
