Question: A liquid level control system is shown in the diagram below ( same as Figure 1 1 . 2 2 , page 1 8 6

A liquid level control system is shown in the diagram below (same as Figure 11.22, page 186 of the Textbook):
Pigure 11.2 exit line.
The time constants of the level transmitter and the control valve are negligible. The crosssectional area of the tank is 0.2m2. At the initial steady state q1=10 liters/minute,q2=10 liters ?? minute, q3=20 liters ?? minute and liquid level (h)=0.4m. Steady state gains for the transmitter and the valve are Km=20mAm,Kv=-2 liters ?minmA. Controller is proportional only with Kc=5. Set point for liquid level is set at hss=0.4m
(a) With q1 as the disturbance variable, h as the controlled variable and q3 as the manipulated variable, draw a block diagram for the feedback control loop for this system. Show all the transfer functions.
(b) At t=0, the set point for liquid level is changed by a step increase to 0.5m. Derive an expression for the change of liquid level (h) as a function of time. What is the new steady state liquid level? Is there an offset?
Also, derive an expression for the variation of q3 as a function of time. What is the new steady state value of q3?
