Abstract: Measurement and control are essential functions in chemical processes. By using LabVIEW and the NI Educational Laboratory Virtual Instrumentation Suite II (NI ELVIS II), chemical engineering students interface a variety of sensors (temperature, pH, flow, conductivity, strain gage, and so on) applied directly to chemical processes. They then use the measurements to control an array of devices (valves, pumps, heaters, and so on) using logic and PID control. At this session, learn how students use this fundamental approach to broaden their understanding of calibration, data presentation, analysis, simulation, and the integration of multiple components into a control system. Also explore some student projects.
