Chemical Engineering (CH) 2007

An operator was told to control the temperature of a reactor at 60 °C. The operator set the set-point of the temperature controller at 60. The scale actually indicated 0 to 100% of a temperature range of 0 to 200 °C. This caused a runaway reaction by over-pressurizing the vessel, which resulted in injury to the operator. The actual set-point temperature was

A control valve with hyperbolic characteristics has a turndown ratio (ratio of maximum flow to minimum controllable flow) of 50. The flow rate through the valve at 70% open is \( 5 \text{ m}^3 \text{ s}^{-1} \). Assuming constant fluid density and pressure drop across the valve, which one of the following is the flow rate (in \( \text{m}^3 \text{ s}^{-1} \)) through the valve at 30% open?
