Project Overview The objective was to build a flow cart that would illustrate process control to future chemical engineering students here at RIT. There were three projects with similar objectives, though the means of teaching process control varied slightly between them. Our project (P13632) required that the process control system incorporate controls based on temperature feedback loops. Temperature changes used for process control were achieved through the use of a shell-and-tube heat exchanger.

Customer Requirements
Design for safe operation Design for use by three students during allotted lab time Portable Easily connected/disconnected for lab use Robust design Minimal maintenance requirements Utilize a control loop based on temperature changes Require control of heated process flow and cooling exchange flow rates Operate both manually and through process control programming in Labview Capable of manual and automatic data collection

Operating Specifications Chart
Parameter Customer Specification Status Description Instrument Air 25 psi air Converter functions as specified Compressed Air 80 psi air Supplied through the building Process Viscosity 1-10 cP Water is used for both flow streams Process Fluid Flow Range 500 g/min to 1500 g/min Process bath rate falls within that range Exchange Fluid Flow Range 1 to 4 GPM Water bath limited to a max of 0.5 GPM Process Temp. Range 70° F to 140° F Bath will operate between -4° F and 392° F Exchange Temp. Range Status Key Specification Met Working exception to specification, will not negatively impact functionality Needs to be addressed in order to function as required

Customer Requirements – Project Achievements
Parameter Status Description Safety Hot fluid is contained in the inner tube of heat exchanger, Electrical components are all contained within a sealed electrical box Portability All aspects of the cart are contained on the cart or on another portable cart. The only location restriction is access to a computer Used by 3 students for 3 lab sections Lab assignment is enough work for 3 students over 3 days Control Based on Heat Exchange Heat exchange flow system Minimal Maintenance Only fluid used is water no cleaning necessary Manual Control Valve position can be changed through an input in Labview Status Key Completed Working exception to specification, will not negatively impact functionality Needs to be addressed in order to function as required
18
Current Project Status
The cart has all mechanical aspects assembled and they have been tested for operability and accuracy The electrical component has been designed and assembled. Testing has been performed to ensure correct communication with the cart A Labview interface has been created for use with the system that outputs all relevant data and allows user input A lab procedure exploring the effects of process control equations on the heat exchange system has been designed. It is expected to take 3 students 3 lab periods to complete. The thermocouples are not currently registering data correctly with the Labview interface, but their purpose is simply to provide more process transparency for the students and they are not necessary for the system to function fully. There is a plan in place to correct the malfunction before the end of the term.

Project Evaluation Successes: Failures: Functioning product
Educationally valuable lab assignment to accompany the product Met or exceeded design specifications Stayed within budget Overcame equipment failures Failures: The lack of a truly multidisciplinary group resulted in challenges with mechanical design Lack of spare parts Uneven distribution of work Minor troubleshooting required
20
Future Work Develop a noise introduction method
Add more mechanical manual control Integrate a digital flow sensor Labview can be easily updated for future needs
