Why flow is measured in square root?
The differential pressure measured has
nonlinear relation with flow through the
pipeline. Differential pressure developed by
a venturi, orifice plate, pitot tube, or any other
acceleration-based flow element is proportional
to the square of the flow rate. The square root
extractor is used to convert the measured
differential pressure into the flow rate

Explain tuning of controllers
Tuning basically involves adjustment of
proportional. Integral and derivative parameters
to achieve good control. The gain, time
constants, and dead times around the loop will
dictate the settings of various parameters of the
controller.
Tuning methods are broadly classified into two :
1.Closed Loop Method: e.g. Ultimate Gain
Method
2. Open Loop Method: e.g. process Reaction

What is the use of double seated valve?
In double seated valves the upward and
downward forces on the plug due to the
reduction of fluid pressure are nearly equalized.
It is generally used on bigger size valves and
high pressure systems. Actuator forces required
are less i.e. a small size actuator
