Q2.(25 marks)
A mixing tank has a transmitter that measures the molar concentration (in molm3) of A in the outlet stream (C). The total volume of the liquid in the tank is 1m3 with density as 300kgm3. These are constants throughout the process. Cm is the concentration measured by the transmitter and the transmitter can be approximated by a first order transfer function 10.1s+1 with respect to C. The respective volumetric flowrates and molar concentrations of the inlet streams are given as shown in the figure. Assume that the volumetric flowrates are constant as indicated in the figure.
a. Show the overall mass balance and component balance. (5 marks)
b. Find the transfer function Cm'C1' where C1 is the concentration of the inlet stream. (5 marks)
c. For a step change of 3molm3 in C1, what is the Cm'(t)? Also find the final steady state response of Cm'(t).(10 marks)
d. If Cm'C' can be approximated as 1, how does the Cm'(t) change for the same input change in C1?(5 marks)
For parts (b) and (c), assume there is no change in C2.
