Example:
The pressure in a chemical reactor is measured by an electronic
sensor/transmitter with an output ranging between 4 - 20 mA. The
manipulated variable is the speed of a vacuum pump accepting a 4 - 20
mA input. The controller is a digital controller. Sketch the piping and
instrumentation diagram (P&ID) and the ‘block diagram’ for the closed
loop control system. Make sure to include all the necessary components
in the control system including the AD and DA converters.

Example:
In order to control the temperature of a jacketed chemical reactor in
which an exothermic reaction takes place, a DAQ system with a proper
software is employed. Describe every step which is needed to read the
thermocouple output (0-10 mV) and issue a signal to manipulate the
cooling water flow rate supplied to the reactor jacket. The desired set-
point temperature is 120C. Draw the Block diagram AND the P&ID of
this control system. A pneumatic control valve is used to throttle the
flow of the cooling water. Make sure to include every component needed
and the units of the signals in you diagrams.
