To develop FOPDT model for a heat exchanger using Step and Doublet Tests.
To compare the predictions of the FOPDT models developed via Step and Doublet Tests.
returns its old value 39%. Unlike in the step test, the process response does not have to settle to
new steady-state value the objective of the doublet test is to capture the transient response of
the system.

Set the operating conditions as follows: CO = 46%, warm liquid flow = 20 L/min, which
should give process fluid exit temperature = 135 oC.
Apply step test of magnitude = 10%, save the data and build a FOPDT model using the
Loop-pro software.
Repeat step (ii) by applying doublet test of magnitude = 10%, save the data and build a
FOPDT model using the Loop-pro software.
