For the continuous flow stirred tank chemical reactor shown

For the continuous flow stirred tank chemical reactor shown in Figure 1, disturbances occur in the feed temperature and composition. Identify three key variables to be controlled Determine which sensors and final control elements are required so that the important variables can be controlled. Provide a sketch of the controller pairings, that is, select which measured variables should be controlled by adjusting which manipulated variable.
