| The Laboratory is
available to groups of students attending the course of Process
Control to develop a "hands on" experience in digital control of continuous
processes. Several bench-scale processes are available (Thermal
process, Continuous third order process, DC Motor, Water Tank system, Diffusive
Reactor, PLC system) to study
dynamical models and design digital controllers. These can then be
implemented in real-time using the Labview 5.1 software platform. Usually
the exercise lasts several weeks and consists of an assignment which includes
process modelling, controller design and practical tests which are then
assessed in a final report.
For the students attending the Environmental Modelling course, the lab offers facilites to study the mixing properties of continuous stirred and plug-flow reactors. Field instrumentation is also available to collect on-site water quality data such as Dissolved Oxygen, stream flow velocity, pH, and many other water quality indicators. |
