Question: ( 4 5 p ) In a well - mixed closed tank, a fermentation medium is heated with saturated steam that flows through a coil

(45 p) In a well-mixed closed tank, a fermentation medium is heated with saturated steam that
flows through a coil immersed in the liquid. If the temperature of this system is to be
controlled by a feedback control structure;
a) plot the system, indicate system information and list your assumptions (5 p)
b) derive and solve the model equation for temperature change (10p
c) develop the block diagram which represents the system (5p for basic structure + for
transfer functions as 5p for each)
d) Explain the properties of the first order systems and find if temperature change in this
system is a first order system or not, with your reason (10 p)
(15 p) In a storage system where three non-interacting tanks are used in series, find the
transfer function that relates liquid height in the third tank to input flow rate to the first tank.
p) Explain the meaning of mathematical model and write down the types of models.
(15 p) For a continuously stirred tank reactor (CSTR) with first order reaction (input material
A is partially converted to material B) derive the model equations for the concentration
change of materials A and B with respect to time. Show the CSTR with all streams in a plot
and write down your assumptions.
(10p Explain the meaning, importance and use of "Degrees of Freedom" for mathematical
modeling in process control studies.
(10p) In a cooling system a pneumatic controller is used. If for the system error is evaluated
as a function of time given by the following relation, derive the transfer function for
proportional-derivative control. (8 p)
(t)=t2+e-2t
Attention please:
a. Remembering our rule "Pc" please consider that in order to control any system you should
know the properties of that system in detail, then you can control the systems. Therefore,
before answering the questions first try to imagine the systems.
b. Please explain the properties of the systems you are considering in detail.
c. Please indicate your assumptions in detail.
