1. Derive the output function y(t) for a second order system subjected to a (i) step response
(ii) impulse response for (a) underdamped, (b) critically damped and (c) overdamped
condition.
2. Explain second order systems with examples. Define time constant and damping
coefficient.
3. Write the standard process inputs used in the model with function and graph.
4. Find the transfer functions H2/Q and H3/Q for the three-tank system shown in Fig.
where H2, H3, and Q are deviation variables. Tank 1 and tank 2 are interacting.
For a unit-step change in q (i.e., Q = 1/ s), determine H3(0) and H3(∞).
5. Define Linearization. Derive the transfer function for outlet flow of the tank follows a
relation 𝑞0 = 𝐶ℎ1/2.
6. Explain interacting and non-interacting tanks systems with examples. Derive the
transfer function for two interacting tanks in series.
7. Derive the output transfer function for first-order system to a sinusoidal forcing
function.
