(a) For a step change in input of magnitude M, what is the time (t s) required
for such a process to settle to within 5% of the total change in the output?
(b) For K =1 and a ramp change in input, u(t) = at, by what time period does
y(t) lag behind u(t) once the output is changing linearly with time?

For the analysis part, you may assumes that:
(a) The valves on the exit lines act as linear resistances.
(b) The valves are adjusted so that each tank is half full at the nominal design
condition of qi = 100 gal/min.
(c) Conversion factor, 1 gal/ min = 0.1337 ft3/min
(i) Assess each surge system (original or modified) and choose the system
which can handle large step disturbance in qi. Justify your answer.
(ii) Forecast the system that provides the best damping of step
disturbances in qi. Justify your answer.

(a) Assuming 2nd Order dynamics, Calculate all important parameters and
write an approximate transfer Function in the form of:
𝑅 ′ (𝑠) 𝐾
=
𝑃′ (𝑠) 𝜏 2 𝑠 2 + 2𝜉𝜏𝑠 + 1

(a) Develop a dynamic model for this process that can be used to calculate
the concentrations of catalyst existing Tank 1 (C 1) and Tank 2 (C2)
(b) Make a degrees of freedom analysis for your model, indicating input(s),
output(s), parameters, and so on.
(c) Suppose a recycle stream is used to return some multiple of the inlet flow
rate (rq) from the exit stream of the 2nd tank bank to the first stirred tank
(Figure 5b)? Repeat part (a) and (b).
