QUESTION:

A temperature transmitter is used to measure the liquid temperature in a bioreactor. A steady-state calibration of this instrument yields the following data: Temperature, oc 0 100 200 300 400 ~easurement,mA 4.0 8.1 11.9 16.1 20.0 Exercises 167 A process engineer runs a test on the reactor under controlled conditions in which its temperature is changed by + 3 C/min. The transmitter output was recorded during this test, converted to C, and compared with a standard thermometer which is known to be accurate and to have a time constant of 20 s. The test data are Time from Start of Test, min 2.0 3.0 4.0 5.0 Temperature COC) Std.
