Question: Assuming that the simpler conditions of Problems 4 . 2 ( a ) apply and that the objective is to control the water temperature T

Assuming that the simpler conditions of Problems 4.2(a) apply and that the objective
is to control the water temperature T1 by adjusting T .
(a) Which of the variables indicated in Eq.(P4.1) is the input variable, and which is
the disturbance variable?
(b) By defining appropriate deviation variables (in terms of T1, T2, and T0, the
steady-state values of T1, T2, T0 respectively) rewrite Eq.(P4.1) in the form:
t!x dt = ay + bu +")d (P4.2)
Explicitly state a, b, andy in terms of process parameters p, CP, c, F, and V.
(c) Express this differential equation model in the transform-domain transfer
function form. What are g(s) and gd(s) in this case?
(d) Express the differential equation model in the impulse-response form either
directly, or using g(s) and gd(s) obtained in (c).4.2(a) Figure P4.2 shows a system for heating a continuous flow water kettle using a
hot plate. Assuming that the hot plate temperature can be changed instantaneously
by adjusting the hot plate rate of heat input and assuming uniform water kettle
temperature, show that the following is a reasonable model for the process:
VCpdT1dt=c(T2-T1)+FCpT0-FCT1
where ,Cp are, respectively, water density and heat capacity, and
c=a constant
F= volumetric flowrate in and out of the kettle.
