ELECTRICAL ENGINEER QUESTIONNAIRE

1. Refer to the P&ID diagram below to answer the following questions:

Flow Indicating Controller

1.1. Describe the purpose of the whole system.

1.2. Explain what each component is, how it works and what types of such device are
the most common ones with their typical application.
1.3. Give two examples of vendors (brands) that manufacture each component
1.4. Describe what the purpose of each component is within this particular system.

2. Referring to the previous P&ID diagram, assuming that the system is operating in
normal conditions and FIC is displaying a non-zero value, list the possible causes if
suddenly the FIC drops to zero.

3. What is the definition of the CV of a valve?

4. Two phases of flow (water and air) run in the inclined pipeline from point #1 to point
#2 as shown. At first point P1=200 psi, T1=180 F, Q water =300 GPM, Q methane =
30 ACFM.

4.1. Calculate Q water (GPM), Q gas actual (ACFM) and Q gas standard (SCFM) at
point #2 assuming P2=50 psi and T2=175 F.
P2, T2

#2

P1, T1

#1

4.2 How would the above calculation change, if instead of water, oil were to
be flown?
