Experimental Process Control of CSTR

Abstract

In this paper, an experimental analysis has been carried out on CSTR in the presence of process faults which can possibly occur due to sudden and unexpected change in certain process parameters. The faults like the change in agitator speed have been injected into the system simultaneously. Due to these faults, change in the output of CSTR i.e. titration end point, has been analyzed. Moreover, while varying the speed of agitators, it has been observed that fault becomes prominent at high speed of each of the agitators. From the experimental results, the nature and magnitude of faults can be visualized.
