There are several ways to control the pressure in a distillation column. Which of the answers below is best described as one that controls the flow out of the condenser to achieve pressure control?
In an industrial application, there are systems where two or more boilers supply a main header. Which of the terms below would best describe the main steam header pressure controller?
Which of the control systems below is designed to uses the static gain and dynamic portions of the transfer functions?
The graph below is an example of a typical positive displacement compressor. Which of the numbered points would best be described as when the discharge valve open due to pressure differential?
Which of the answers below is best represented by the number "5" on a typical H1 segment?
There are several common problems that can arise during a distillation columns operation. Which of the problems below can be described as when the vapour avoids the upper tray due to a lack of a seal in the downcomer from the tray above?
There are a variety of complications that can arise while using a reciprocating compressor. Which one of the events would be mitigated by a the proper positioning of proximity probes?
There are several ways to control the pressure in a distillation column. Which of the answers below is best described as the control of the condensers coolant flow?
In process control, there are many control strategies to choose from. Which of the strategies would only respond to a controlled PV starting to drift from the SP?
There are many different parts and processes to a distillation column. Which of the processes below can be best described as the residual liquid exiting the tray at each stage?
Surge is the worst conditions that a centrifugal compressor can have, so some control strategies have been developed to mitigate this. Which of the strategies below can be described as a control that functions despite the surge controller not operating?
Which of the answers below is best described as a relative gain that indicates the control variable as no interaction with the manipulated variable?

Each compressor have it's own pressure to flow profile at a defined speed. Which of the compressors below would have a predictable flow and inconsistent pressure?
There are numerous undertakings in developing an SIS, this is called the safety life cycle. Which of the terms below relates best to a collection of devices that reduce a specific hazards risk?
There are many different parts and processes to a distillation column. Which of the processes below can be best described as the design feature that removes some of the liquids lighter components at each stage?
There are several common problems that can arise during a distillation columns operation. Which of the problems below can be described as an accumulation of liquid that can block vapour from rising?
Which of the terms below is best describes when the other control loop is in manual, the disruption in the PV with a change in Co?
There are a variety of complications that can arise while using a reciprocating compressor. Which one of the events would be mitigated by a gauge on the suction and discharge lines?
