Conduct a research on gas water heater systems for residential use. During normal use/operation, the system function as a closed loop control system, hence a block diagram can be used to represent the closed-loop control. Identify all elements (plant, sensor/measurement, controller, and final control element) in the control loop and all system variable variables/signals (setpoint, manipulated and controlled variables, and feedback signal). (1) There is a thermopile in this system. What the thermopile consists of? And the role/function of the thermopile? (2) Complete the following table (be specific) which will be used to generate a corresponding function block diagram. Expand the table as needed. Plant/process Sensor/Measurement Controller Control element Gas Water Heater System Name/Description Input variable/signal Output variable/signal a. Use some appropriate software (it can be a general purpose one or specialized one) to draw a corresponding block diagram with all the blocks and variable/signals identified. Note: "copy and paste" of a block diagram from other sources is NOT acceptable. b. Describe the property of each specific control loop element - When input increase. how the output of this element responds to? c. Consider a scenario in that hot water has been run from a tap continuously for 15 minutes. Explain in detail how control loop element, and overall control system, is going to respond in this condition. I Conduct a research on gas water heater systems for residential use.
