Assignment (4)
1. The dynamic response of a stirred-tank bioreactor can be represented by the
transfer function

Where C′ is the exit substrate concentration, mol/L, and C′F is the feed substrate
concentration, mol/L.
(a) Derive an expression for c′(t) if cF(t) is a rectangular pulse with the following
characteristics

(b) What is the maximum value of c′(t)? When does it occur? What is the final value
of c′(t)?
2. Consider the transfer function

What is y(t→∞) for the following inputs:


(a) step input of height M
(b) unit impulse inputδ(t)
(c) sint
(d) unit rectangular pulse (h=1)
3. A liquid storage system is shown below. The normal operating conditions are q1
=10 ft3∕min, q2=5ft3∕min, h=4ft. The tank is 6 ft in diameter, and the density of
each stream is 60 lb/ft3. Suppose that a pulse change in q1 occurs as shown in
Fig.
(a) What is the transfer function relating H′ to Q′1?
(b) Derive an expression for h(t) for this input change.
(c) What is the new steady-state value of liquid level h?
(d) Repeat (b) and (c) for a change in q1 from 10 to 20 (at t=0) to 15 ft3/min at t=12.

4. A tank used to dampen liquid flow rate surges is known to exhibit second-order
dynamics. The input flow rate changes suddenly from 180 to 210 gal/min. An
operator notes that the tank level changes as follows:
• Before input change: level=10 ft and steady
• Four minutes later: level=16.5ft
• Forty minutes later: level=15 ft and steady.
(a) Find a transfer function model that describes this process, at least
approximately. Evaluate all parameters in your model, including units.
(b) Is your model unique? Why or why not?
5. A step change from 15 to 31 psi in actual pressure results in the measured
response from a pressure-indicating element shown in Fig.
(a) Assuming second-order dynamics, calculate all important parameters and
write an approximate transfer function in the form

Where R′ is the instrument output deviation (mm), P′ is the actual pressure deviation
(psi).
(b) Write an equivalent differential equation model in terms of actual (not deviation)
variables

6. A process has the block diagram.

Derive an approximate first-order-plus-time-delay transfer function model.

7. A composition analyzer is used to measure the concentration of a pollutant in a


wastewater stream. The relationship between the measured composition Cm and
the actual composition C is given by the following transfer function (in deviation
variable form)

Where θ=2 min and τ=4 min. The nominal value of the pollutant is C=5 ppm. A
warning light on the analyzer turns on whenever the measured concentration exceeds 25
ppm. Suppose that at time t=0, the actual concentration begins to drift higher,
C(t)=5+2t, where C has units of ppm and t has units of minutes. At what time will the
warning light turn on?

8. For the process described by the exact transfer function

(a) Find an approximate first-order-plus-time-delay transfer function model.


(b) What is the maximum error between the two responses? When does it occur?

9. Consider the transfer function

(a) What are the gain, time delay, time constants, poles, and zeros of G(s)?
(b) Will the step response of this transfer function exhibit
(i) inverse response or
(ii) oscillations?
