Q.1 Obtain the unit step response for the following in Simulink. Where possible, qualitatively justify the shape of the transient response


Q.2 The process is described by the following transfer function


Q.4 An electronic PID temperature controller is at steady state with an output of 12 mA. The set point equals the nominal process temperature initially. At t=0, the set point is increased at the rate of 0.5 mA/min. If the current settings are K₂= 2, t=1.5 min, Tp=0.5 min. (a) Generate the controller response in Simulink. (b) Repeat part (a) for a PI controller


A control system has the following transfer functions: Gc = Kc, GvGp = 1/(s+1) (0.5s+1)2


Q.6 Consider the FODT model with K = 2, time constant = 5, time delay = 1. Compare the PID controller settings obtained from Ziegler-Nicholas and Tyreus- Luyben tuning relations. Simulate and briefly discuss the closed-loop responses for a unit step change in the set point.


Two liquid storage tanks are shown in Figure Q2. For System I, the valve acts with a resistance R = 580 s m-2, so that the relation between the flow (F)and liquid level in the tank (h) is given by F = hlR. For System II, a pump is used instead of the valve, meaning that variations in liquid level do not affect the exit flow rate. The diameter of each tank is the same, D = 1.1 m. For each system determine the following information and show all your workings: (a) Process gain (Kp) and time constant (7). (b) New steady-state liquid levels in both System I and System II, if the inlet flow rate suddenly changes from 3.0x10-3 m³ s-1 to4.5x10-3 m3 s-1. The initial steady-state level in both systems is 1.8 m. (c) If each tank is 2.4 m tall, which tank overflows first? Calculate when this will happen.


A single-tank process has been operating with an inlet flow rate equal to29.4 m3 min-1. The operator increases the flow rate suddenly by 10%,resulting in a level change in the tank as recorded in Table Q3. Assuming that the liquid-level dynamics follow a first-order model, determine: (a) The Pl controller settings using the Ziegler-Nichols tuning relations. (b) The process gain and time constant using Sundaresan and Krishnaswamy's method. Compare these values against the values from the graphical method.
