Exercise 3
A surge tank is designed with a slotted weir so that the
outflow rate, 𝑤, is proportional to the liquid level raised to
the power of 1.5 power; that is,
𝑤 = 𝑅ℎ1.5
where R is constant. Linearize this expression for w.

Exercise 4
Two processes operate in series with the output of the first
process becoming the input to the second process. Their
transfer functions are, 𝐺1 𝑠 and 𝐺2 𝑠 , respectively. With
the following transfer functions, determine the overall
transfer function of the system.

Find the four transfer functions relating the outputs (𝑦1 , 𝑦2 )
to the inputs (𝑢1 , 𝑢2 ). The 𝑢 and 𝑦 are deviation variables.

Exercise 6
Consider the following transfer function:
Y ( s) 4
G ( s)
U ( s ) 10s 2
a. What is the steady state gain?
b. What is the time constant?
c. If 𝑈 𝑠 = 5/𝑠, what is the value of the output 𝑦(𝑡) when 𝑡 → ∞?
d. For the same output, what is the value of the output when 𝑡 = 5?
e. If 𝑈 𝑠 = (1 − 𝑒 −𝑠 )/𝑠 , that is the unit rectangular pulse, what is the
output when 𝑡 → ∞?
f. If 𝑢 𝑡 = 𝛿(𝑡), that is, a unit impulse at 𝑡 = 0, what is the output
when 𝑡 → ∞?
g. If 𝑢 𝑡 = 2 sin 3𝑡, what is the value of the output when 𝑡 → ∞? 7
