TEST YOURSELF: Calculate the optimum PI for this process.
 

1. Data captured using a paperless recorder of a flow decreasing process

2. Data captured using a chart recorder of a flow decreasing process


 


Answers:

1. Td = 3.3 s, RR = 0.1747 / s, P = 64.1%, I = 11 s

2. Td = 1.8 s, RR = 0.3230 / s, P = 64.6%, I = 6 s

Your answers should not differ much from mine.
