There a some conventional distillation column control strategies. Which of the strategies below is best described as a direct setting of one of the output flows?
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?
There are many different parts and processes to a distillation column. Which of the design feature below can be best described as the section that concentrates the heavier component in the liquid phase.
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?
