The figure shows a system with a cooling jacket. Heat is transferred from
the wall of the tank to the fluid in the jacket by convection. The heat
transfer from the fluid in the tank to the fluid in the jacket is formulated
as =2*Fc*(T-Tco). The tank is mixed very well. The output temperature
of the tank T,is desired to be kept at 30C by adjusting the flow rate of
the cooling water with a P controller. The volume of fluid in the inner tank
is V=10m3; the density of the fluid is =800kgm3; the heat capacity of
the fluid is Cp=1.4kcalkgC. The feed flow rate of the fluid fed to the
system is F=0.5m3min and the feed temperature is T0=80C. The feed
temperature of the cooling fluid Tc0=20C.
The transfer functions of thermocouple and pneumatic valve used in the proposed feedback control loop are
given as Gs(s)=16100mAC(s+1) and Gv(s)=-50016kcaldkmA(s+1), respectively.
a) Derive the transfer function of the system (without control loop).
b) Calculate the P controller parameters in order to hold the output temperature of fluid at 30C.
c) On the tank controlled with P, if the temperature of T0 decreases to 50C, find the last temperature of the
fluid and flow rate of the cooling fluid.
