Design Problem: Stability analysis of a boiler control system in a power plant using
transfer function as an industrial application.

heat input.')

after a change in control input.')

the system need to be adjusted to ensure stability.')

Discussion or Inference of the experiment
From this experiment we can infer the stability of a boiler system by calculating its rise
time,settling time and overshoot.we also estimated the risk of efficiency and time required
in change of heat input.
Conclusion:-
This experiment taught us the fundamental of MATLABwith the generation of different
signals such as unit step, impulse signal, sine/cosine function, exponential function and
ramp function.
