Using the picture below, which variable is best defined as "controlled"?
Which of the answers below best describes a decoupling control strategy?
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?
There are several common problems that can arise during a distillation columns operation. Which of the problems below can be described as a lack of vapour speed to keep the liquid on the proper tray?
In the reciprocating compressor system, there are numerous specialized components. Which of the components below would be best described as one that increases efficiency by preventing over heating between stages?
SAMA has various symbols for the elements or functions of a boiler. Which of the answers below correctly identifies "E"?

In process control, there are many control strategies to choose from. Which of the strategies would use the comparison of the PV to the desired SP?
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 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?
Which of the control strategies below is best defined as a strategy where all inputs are evaluated and the calculated outputs are transmitted collectively?
There are many different parts and processes to a distillation column. Which of the design feature below can be best described as the process of condensed tops reintroduced to the column?
A system of control is needed in a centrifugal compressor to have consistent flow. Which of the constant speed compressor control systems below is best described as a restriction on the inlet flow, reducing the discharge flow?
Control strategies affect several variables, some at the same time. Which of the variables below is omitted from the pure feedforward control strategy?
A system of control is needed in a reciprocating compressor to have consistent pressure. Which of the control systems below is best described as one that adjust the compression rate of the compressor?
If an unusual condition appears, compressor control systems have instruments that will shut down the compressor safely. Which of the shutdown classes below is best described as armed at the successful completion of the start sequence, and stay armed until it's timer expires?
There are many different parts and processes to a distillation column. Which of the design feature below can be best described as the process of condensed tops reintroduced to the column?
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?

One of the more common applications for ratio control is fuel to air control schemes. Which of the control schemes below would use a a signal arriving at both the air and fuel controllers from the firing demand controller, while allowing for excess air for combustion??
There are a variety of complications that can arise while using a reciprocating compressor. Which one of the events would be mitigated by a tight control of the water jacket and lube oil?
