Project Description Your team has been hired to design an automatic gasoline dispenser in the United States, gasoline is sent through dedicated pipelines from the refineries to multiple terminal stations across the country. Gas trucks load gasoline at these terminals and distribute them to the gas stations When loading gasoline at the terminal, cach gasoline company as their own mixture of additives to the fuel. Additives are used for controlling emissions, deaning the engines, adding power, etc. The additives present in each brand of gasoline are basically the only thing that differentiates one brand of gasoline from another When a gas truck reaches the terminal, gasoline is pumped from one tank and mixed with the additives before reaching the truck. This process is depicted in Figure 1. When the truck is ready and the loading hose is connected to the truck, the operator presses a START button to begin the filling process. The gasoline and the additive misture need to be pumped from their holding tanks and mixed such that OQ-10.0,where Qe is the gasoline volumetric flow rate (in gals min) and Qart is the additives mixture volumetric flow rate (in pals min) The control scheme used for maintaining this flow ratio constant is called Ratio Control Iggest you look for information on ratio control on a suitable source. When the gasoline track is full, the operator presses a STOP button to stop pumping the gasolinc/additive mixture Additives Moxture QAM Q Q. Gasoline Figure 1. This figure depicts the process in which additives are added to gasoline at the loading terminal Design Project Requirements Your team will be responsible for designing the control and instrumentation system for the gasoline dispenser. Assume that both the gasoline and the additive mixture tanks are always full ENGINEERING DOCUMENTS (75%) Every team of students must submit the following engineering documents 1. Process Flow Sheets Mechanical Flow Sheets (P&I Diagrams 3. Instrument Specification Sheets 4. Loop Wiring Diagrams A description and Examples of requirements 1-4 are given in the enclosed handout. For your design consider all practical consideration materials and sizes of components, cost, selection of appropriate controllers, final control elements, and sensors, etc.
