    摘要: In a method and apparatus for measuring the depth of a flowing fluid, and controlling the flow rate of the fluid based upon the depth measurement, the fluid is caused to flow through a conduit, where it is irradiated with a known intensity of light, and the fluid is caused to fall from a horizontally directed exit terminus into a reservoir having a reflective bottom. The fluid serves as a wave guide for the light it received within the conduit, and releases the light within the reservoir. The intensity of light reflected from the bottom of the reservoir and emergent from the fluid is directly proportional to the depth of the fluid in the reservoir, and is measured by a photodetector which transmits a control signal to a valve in the conduit.

    摘要: In a process for manufacture of a chemical product, a reactive hydrocarbon feedstream, which varies in composition of the reactive component, is combined with a compatible but unreactive hydrocarbon feedstream to form a blended hydrocarbon stream which is then combined with a reactive alcohol stream of stable concentration of its reactive component, to form a complete feedstream to the reactor. A desired ratio of relative reactant concentrations in the complete feedstream to the reactor is maintained by a control system which maintains a stable concentration in the blended hydrocarbon stream by manipulating flow rate of the unreactive hydrocarbon feedstream responsive to a concentration measurement in the blended hydrocarbon stream. Flow ratio control is then applied to maintain a desired ratio of reactants in the complete feedstream for the reactor by calculating a flow ratio of the blended hydrocarbon stream to the reactive alcohol feedstream. The calculated flow ratio is the process variable input to a manually set ratio controller which manipulates the flow rate of the reactive alcohol feedstream responsive to the flow ratio.
