(12 marks) Consider the system of two tanks as depicted in Fig. 1. The flow rate F2 is proportional to
the height of the liquid in the first tank (i.e.F2=h). You would like to control the liquid level of tank
2(h2) using a valve, that controls the flow rate F3 using a PI controller with gain Kc and time constant
1.
Figure 1: System of two tanks controlled by a valve
Draw the block diagram of the closed loop system.
Derive the close-loop transfer functions for changes in the load or set-point. Assume that the transfer
functions of the measuring devices and control valves are unity.
How will h2 vary as a function of time for a step change in the set point and the load ? What are
the closed loop static gains ? Draw qualitative plots for each response.
