ASSIGNMENT 3

Question 1

(a) What is the transfer function of a system with a zero-pole map in the s-plane as shown
below?

(b) (i) Deduce the transfer function of a system whose input and output are related by the
differential equation. Assume y and f are deviation variables.

𝑑2 𝑦 𝑑𝑦 𝑑𝑓
2
+3 + 2𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑡) +
𝑑𝑡 𝑑𝑡 𝑑𝑡

(ii) Does the transfer function deduced above represent a stable or an unstable system?

(c) The transfer function of a system is given by:

(𝑠 + 2 + 𝑗)(𝑠 + 2 − 𝑗)
𝐺(𝑠) =
(𝑠 + 3)(𝑠 + 1 + 𝑗)(𝑠 + 1 − 𝑗)

Sketch its zero-pole map in the s-plane.


Question 2

The following equations:

𝑑ℎ
𝐴 = 𝐹𝑖 − 𝐹
𝑑𝑡

𝑑𝑇 𝑄
𝐴ℎ = 𝐹𝑖 (𝑇𝑖 − 𝑇) +
𝑑𝑡 𝜌𝐶𝑝

Constitute the complete mathematical model of a stirred tank heater. The last equation can be re-
written as:

𝑑𝑇 𝑄
𝑉 = 𝐹𝑖 (𝑇𝑖 − 𝑇) +
𝑑𝑡 𝜌𝐶𝑝

(a) (i) Develop the input-output model for the process by formulating the necessary transfer
function.
(Hints: Apply the protocols of section 4.4.4 (lecture notes) to the last equation. V, Cp, ρ, and Fi
are constants while T, Ti, and Q are deviation variables.)

(ii) Obtain expressions for Kp and τp with respect to the load variables Ti and Q.

(b) Given the following data;

𝐹𝑖 = 200 𝐿/𝑚𝑖𝑛

𝑉 = 1000 𝐿

𝜌 = 1 𝑘𝑔/𝐿

𝑘𝐽
𝐶𝑝 = 4.184
𝑘𝑔. ℃

𝑇𝑖 = 60℃

𝑇 = 80℃
i. Determine the response of the outlet temperature T(s) of the tank to a step change in the inlet
temperature from 60 oC to 70 oC. (Assume no change in heat input, i.e Q(s) = 0)
ii. Determine the response of the outlet temperature T(s) of the tank to a step increase in the heat
input of 42 kW. (Assume no change inlet temperature, i.e Ti(s) = 0)
iii. Determine the response of the outlet temperature of the tank to a simultaneous step change in
the inlet temperature from 60 oC to 70 oC and a step increase in the heat input of 42 kW.
(Remember: T, Ti, and Q are deviation variables.)
Question 3

̅′ (𝑠)
ℎ
(a) Derive the transfer function 𝐺(𝑠) = 𝐹̅′ (𝑠) for the liquid-level system above. The resistances
𝑖

(R1 and R2) are linear; ℎ̅′ and 𝐹̅𝑖′ are deviation variables. Note: cfm means cubic feet per minutes.
(Hints: Illustration 4.2 can serve as guide. Note, this problem involves two outlet streams)
(b) Find the numerical values of 𝐾𝑝 and 𝜏𝑝 .
