There are some specialized equipment that is on a fractional distillation column. Which of the answers below best describes what the function of a "pump around" on one of those columns?
There are multiple parts to a large industrial water tube boiler. Which of the answers below is best described as the area where boiler water is equalized, and scale is deposited?
In a reciprocating compressor, the piston rod is put under extreme forces and requires monitoring. Which of the situations below would use mounted strain gauges?
There a several different types of feedforward control. Which of the answers below is a strategy developed from processes transfer function?
Calculate the static gain of a process that has a step change of 15% in CO₁, creating a 20% change in PV₁ and a 12% change in PV₂ while CO₂ is held constant. A step change of 12% in CO₂ creates a -15% change in PV₁ and a 7% change in PV₂?
