Chapter 5 Dynamic Behavior of Ideal Systems
Ideal Dynamic Behavior • Idealized dynamic behavior can be effectively used to qualitatively describe the behavior of industrial processes. • Certain aspects of second order dynamics (e.g., decay ratio, settling time) are used as criteria for tuning feedback control loops. • This material is not, in general, directly applied to industrial control.
First Order Process • Differential equation • Transfer function • Note that gain and time constant define the behavior of a first order process.
Determine the Process Gain and Process Time Constant from Gp(s)
Second Order Process • Differential equation • Transfer function • Note that the gain, time constant, and the damping factor define the dynamic behavior of 2nd order process.
Characteristics of an Underdamped Response • Rise time • Overshoot (B) • Decay ratio (C/B) • Settling or response time • Period (T)
Example of a 2nd Order Process • The closed loop performance of a process with a PI controller can behave as a second order process. • When the aggressiveness of the controller is very low, the response will be overdamped. • As the aggressiveness of the controller is increased, the response will become underdamped.
Determining the Parameters of a 2nd Order System from its Gp(s)
High Order Processes • The larger n, the more sluggish the process response (i.e., the larger the effective deadtime) • Transfer function:
Example of Overdamped Process • Distillation columns are made-up of a large number of trays stacked on top of each other. • The order of the process is approximately equal to the number of trays in the column
Integrating Processes • In flow and out flow are set independent of level • Non-self-regulating process • Example: Level in a tank. • Transfer function:
Deadtime • Transport delay from reactor to analyzer: • Transfer function:
FOPDT Model • High order processes are well represented by FOPDT models. As a result, FOPDT models do a better job of approximating industrial processes than other idealized dynamic models.
Determining FOPDT Parameters • Determine time to one-third of total change and time to two-thirds of total change after an input change. • FOPDT parameters:
Inverse Acting Processes • Results from competing factors. • Example: Thermometer • Example of two first order factors:
Recycle Processes • Recycle processes recycle mass and/or energy. • Recycle results in larger time constants and larger process gains. • Recycles (process integration) are used more today in order to improve the economics of process designs.
Overview • It is important to understand terms such as: • Overdamped and underdamped response • Decay ratio and settling time • Rectangular pulse and ramp input • FOPDT model • Inverse acting process • Lead-Lag element • Process integration and recycle processes
