Answer For Tutorial 4

The document contains questions and problems related to transfer function and state-space models in process dynamics and control. It includes determining (1) the steady-state gain and time constant from a given transfer function, (2) the output for different input functions, and (3) the transfer functions relating outputs to inputs for a given system of equations. It also involves finding the transfer function for a surge tank model where outflow is proportional to liquid level raised to a power.

ERT 210/4 Process Dynamics and Control Tutorial 4: Transfer Function and State-Space Models

4.2 Consider the following transfer function:


G (s) = Y (s) 5 = U ( s ) 10 s +1

(a) What is the steady-state gain? =5 (b) What is the time constant? = 10 (c) If U(s) = 2/s, what is the value of the output y(t) when t ?

(f) If u (t ) = (t ) , that is, the unit impulse at t = 0, what is the output when t ?

(g) If u (t ) = 2 sin 3t , what is the value of the output when t ?

(d) For the same U(s), what is the value of the output when t = 10? What is the output when expressed as a fraction of the new steady-state value?

(e) If U(s) = (1-e-s)/s, that is, the unit rectangular pulse, what is the output when t ?

4.5 For the process modeled by


dy1 = 2 y1 3 y 2 + 2u1 dt dy 2 = 4 y1 6 y 2 + 2u1 + 4u 2 dt

Find the four transfer functions relating the outputs (y1, y2) to the inputs (u1, u2). The u and y are deviation variables.

4.8 A surge tank in Fig. E4.8 is designed with a slotted weir so that the outflow rate, w, is proportional to the liquid level to the 1.5 power; that is,
w = Rh1.5

where R is constant. If the single stream enters the tank with flow rate wi, find the transfer function H'(s)/Wi(s). Identify the gain and all time constants. Verify units. The cross-sectional area of the tank is A. Density is constant.
