Question

In the process presented in Figure Q1, tomato pulp is heated as it passes through a steam heat exchanger and then enters an evaporator where the water boils off. The

purpose of this process is to produce tomato paste, which has a lower water content than the pulp. As a chemical engineer, you are tasked to control the liquid level and temperature in the evaporator.Considering this information, answer the following: (a) Define the process variables and the manipulated variables, as well as possible disturbances. (b)Propose feedback control loops by sketching a schematic diagram. (c) Propose any additional features in order to assure the safe operation of the process. Illustrate these features using a schematic diagram.
