Question 3
Consider a proportional-only control of the stirred-tank heater control system in Figure 3. The
temperature transmitter has a span of 50 oF and zero of 55 oF. The nominal design conditions are
T = 80 oF and Ti = 65 oF. The controller gain, Kc = 5, while the gain for control valve and I/P
transducer are Kv = 1.2 (dimensionless) and KIP = 0.75 psi/mA, respectively with both negligible
dynamics. Time constant for the tank, = 5 min. After the set point changes from 80 to 85 oF, the
tank temperature eventually reaches a new steady-state value of 84.14 oF.

Question 5
A control system has Gv = Gm = 1 and a second order process Gp with Kp = 2, 1 = 4 min, and 2 =
1 min, which is to be controlled by a Proportional-Integral (PI) controller with Kc = 2 and I = 1
= 4 min (i.e., the integral time of the controller is set equal to the dominant time constant). For a
unit set point change
(a)
Determine the closed-loop transfer function and using the final value theorem
calculates the offset for a unit step change in set point.
