Q2: The data presented in the attached figure represent the temperature of a bioreactor after an increase in the flow rate of magnitude of 5% at t = 10 min.
a) Use the data to develop an empirical transfer function model (FOPTD) that can be used to design a controller to regulate the temperature.
b) List two things that you should do to confirm whether or not the parameters that you have estimated for your transfer function are appropriate.
c) Using Simulink, simulate your model, plot your results and the given data in the same graph and compare them.
