2. The two tanks shown in figure are connected in an interacting fashion. The system is
initially at steady state with q = 10 cfm. The following data apply to the tanks: A1 =
1ft2, A2 = 1.25 ft2, R1 = 1 ft/cfm and R2 = 0.8 ft/cfm.
a. If the flow changes from 10 to 11 cfm according to a step change, determine H2(s),
i.e. the Laplace transform of H2(t), where H2 is the deviation in h2.
b. Determine H2(1), H2(4), H2(∞).
c. Determine the initial levels (actual levels) h1(0) and h2(0) in the tanks.
d. Obtain an expression for H1(s) for the unit-step change described above.
5. Draw the Nyquist diagram for the process G(s)=4/(2s+1)(4s+1). Determine the
proportional gain that can be used.
