Q. No. 2: A stirred-tank blending system can be described by a first order transfer function between
the exit composition x and the inlet composition x1 as:
̃ (𝒔)
𝑿 𝟎.𝟔
̃ 𝟏 (𝒔)
= time constant unit: minute
𝑿 𝟏𝟎𝒔+𝟏
When the blending system is at steady state (𝑥̅ = 0.3), the dynamic behavior is tested
by quickly adding a large amount of a radioactive tracer, thus approximating an impulse
function with magnitude1.5.
(a) Calculate the exit composition response x(t) using Laplace transform and sketch x(t).
(b) Based on this analytical expression, what is the value of x(0)?
Q. No-4: A process of unknown transfer function is subjected to a unit-impulse input. The output
of the process is measured accurately and is found to be represented by the function y(t)
= t.e-t. Determine the unit-step response of this process.
