Fundamentals of Industrial Instrumentation and Process Control
[PID] FundamenInstrumentation and process control can be traced back many millennia. Some of the early examples are the process of making fire and instruments using the sun and stars, such as Stonehenge. The evolution of instrumentation and process control has undergone several industrial revolutions leading to the complexities of modern day microprocessor-controlled processing. Today’s technological evolution has made it possible to measure parameters deemed impossible only a few years ago. Improvements in accuracy, tighter control, and waste reduction have also been achieved.
This book was specifically written as an introduction to modern day industrial instrumentation and process control for the two-year technical, vocational, or degree student, and as a reference manual for managers, engineers, and technicians working in the field of instrumentation and process control.
It is anticipated that the prospective student will have a basic understanding of mathematics, electricity, and physics. This course should adequately prepare a prospective technician, or serve as an introduction for a prospective engineer wishing to get a solid basic understanding of instrumentation and process control.
Instrumentation and process control involve a wide range of technologies and sciences, and they are used in an unprecedented number of applications.
Examples range from the control of heating, cooling, and hot water systems in homes and offices to chemical and automotive instrumentation and process control. This book is designed to cover all aspects of industrial instrumentation, such as sensing a wide range of variables, the transmission and recording of the sensed signal, controllers for signal evaluation, and the control of the manufacturing process for a quality and uniform product.
Chapter 1 gives an introduction to industrial instrumentation. Chapters 2 through 4 refresh the student’s knowledge of basic electricity and introduce

    Measure The Rate Of A Chemical Reaction Lab

    The purpose of laboratory assignment 3 was to measure the rate at which a chemical reaction takes place. For the purpose of this lab we measured the rate a balanced oxidation/reduction reaction between iodine, hydrogen, and bromate ion occurs. The above reaction occurs slowly so we used a coupled iodine clock reaction to measure the rate of the oxidation/reduction reaction because it occurs much faster but is still dependent upon the other reaction. To accomplish this, two mixtures were prepared in separate Erlenmeyer flasks. In the 250 ml flask .010M potassium iodide, .0010M Sodium thiosulfate and distilled water was prepared. A 125 ml flask was also prepared with a mixture of .040M potassium bromate, hydro chloric acid and…

    Principles of Chemistry Lab

    The purpose of this project is to identify an unknown organic acid (X) by conducting various experiments to determine the acid’s unique properties. By determining selected constant properties of the unknown and then comparing these properties to the constant properties of known substances, it is possible to identify an unknown substance. The properties used to identify the unknown must be intensive, or independent of amount. Both chemical properties and physical properties are intensive properties used in determining the identity of an unknown (Maserton, p. 15).…

    Universal Indicator Lab Report

    To figure out the results, the Universal Indicator was used in order to help indicate what pH level the cabbage indicator was, for a specific colour. The colour range for the Universal Indicator from the experiment matched closely with the scale on the internet (Understanding Body pH Balance. (2012, January 07). Retrieved November 14, 2017, from https://docakilah.wordpress.com/2011/11/29/understanding-body-ph-balance/). It went from red, to green/yellow, then deep purple (pH 1, pH 7, pH 14). For the colour range of the red cabbage indicator, it went from red, to light purple, to bright yellow (pH 1, pH 7, pH 14). The Universal Indicator’s colour range seems common and similar to many other scales. A few examples are the red litmus paper,…

    Error Analysis Lab

    In this lab, the density of 20 glass beads were determined using two different methods and the results were compared to see how close the values were to each other. In first method the volume of each individual bead was measured using the diameter of each bead, along with the mass. In the second method the beads we treated as a whole unit. The total mass was measured and volume was measured based on the amount of water that was displaced in a graduated cylinder. Then, the beads were swapped with 20 different glass beads of the same type. The procedure was repeated and the results were compared to the data of the first bead set to look for any systematic errors that may have occurred. During the experiment, the data was used to see whether the diameter, mass, and density were constant between the individual beads. However, the main goal of the experiment was to answer the question of whether or not individual density average agreed with the bulk density.…
