Consider the liquid-level control system shown in Fig. P12-4. The tanks are noninteracting. The following information is known: • The resistances on the tanks are linear. These resistances were tested separately, and it was found that if the steady-state flow rate q cfm is plotted against steady-state tank level h ft, the slope of the line dq/dh is 2 ft2 /min. • The cross-sectional area of each tank is 2 ft2. • The control valve was tested separately, and it was found that a change of 1 psi in pressure to the valve produced a change in flow of 0.1 cfm. • There is no dynamic lag in the valve or the measuring element. (a) Draw a block diagram of this control system, and in each block give the transfer function, with numerical values of the parameters. (b) Determine the controller gain Kc for a critically damped response. (c) If the tanks were connected so that they were interacting, what is the value of Kc needed for critical damping? (d) Using 1.5 times the value of Kc determined in part (c), determine the response of the level in tank 2 to a step change in set point of 1 in of level.

Step 1
(a) The transfer function for the system is given by h(t) = Kc*h ft + v(t) where Kc is the controller gain and h ft is the tank level. Show more…

(a) Water at temperature of 20 oC in storage tank A is designed to supply the water to tank B and tank C through a 10 cm inner diameter pipe as shown in Figure P2(a). This piping system consists of three gate valve, two regular, flanged 90o elbows and a flanged tee. The volume flowrate of the water in this piping system is estimated to be 0.035 m3/s. All large tank A, B and C are open to atmospheric and the elevation different between the water levels of tank A and B is estimated to be 9 m. All the pipes used in this system are made of the same material. (i) Determine the friction factor of the pipes that used in this system if the gate valve located at tank C is fully closed and the gate valves at tank A and B are fully opened. (ii) Analyze and estimate the relative roughness of the pipe used in this system. Also, predict the type of pipe used in this system in accordance to the determined relative roughness. (iii) The gate valves located at tank A and C are fully opened and the gate valve located at tank B is fully closed. Determine the elevation difference between the tank A and tank C, x. Provide and explain the assumptions used during solving this problem.

Consider the liquid-level system shown in Figure Q1. Assuming H = 3, Q = 0.02 m/s, and the cross-sectional area of the tank is equal to 5 m^2, obtain the time constant of the system at the operating point (H, Q). Assume that the flow through the valve is turbulent. Capacitance C Resistance R Figure Q1
a) One material as shown in Figure Q1(a) is at first immersed 4.0 m at level 1 underneath the surface of water. If the same material is then brought down to a profundity of 8.0 m at level 2 underneath the surface of water, give your assessment on how the absolute pressure on the object alters. b) If the diameter of a pipeline with streaming liquid is diminished by a factor of 6, how does the velocity of the fluid have to be alter to preserve a steady rate. c) Fluid flows into a pipe with a diameter of 6.0 m at a rate of 14.0 m/s. If the other end of the pipe has a cross sectional area of 0.9 m^2, determine the speed of the fluid as it exits the pipe. d) A cylindrical water tank of 40.0 m high and 2.0 m in diameter is above a water valve of a house. It is filled with water that has a density of 1000 kg/m^3. i. Determine the difference in water pressure between the valve and the water tank. ii. Determine the average force, F, on the valve.
