Well-mixed tank heating/cooling model (repaired): Water enters a perfectly mixed tank at flow rate Q0 and temperature T0 and leaves at flow rate Q with exit temperature T. Heat losses are negligible. The tank volume V is constant (level control maintained). Which dynamic energy balance best describes the temperature change with time?
Which classical stability assessment explicitly uses the open-loop transfer function to determine closed-loop stability margins and encirclements?
Thermal-conductivity-type continuous flue gas analyzer: among common flue gas constituents CO2, N2, O2, and CO, which has the highest thermal conductivity and therefore produces the greatest conductive signal change?
Second-order LTI system — choose the standard canonical transfer function form In classical process control, the standard form of a linear time-invariant second-order system is expressed using the undamped natural frequency (ω_n) and the damping ratio (ζ). Which of the following expressions represents this canonical transfer function (unity static form)?
Seebeck effect in thermocouples — what does the generated emf depend on? In practical thermocouple measurements, the electromotive force (emf) is determined by which temperature relationship between the two junctions?
Frequency response of a first-order system (τ = 1 min) A first-order process with time constant τ = 1 minute is tested at input frequency ω = 1 rad/min. What is the steady-state phase shift (in degrees) between output and sinusoidal input?
Stability of a system with a double pole at the origin A linear system has a double pole at s = 0. Which time-domain behaviour explains why such a system is unstable?
Photoconductive (photoresistive) transducers — what do they actually sense? A photoelectric device whose resistance varies in direct proportion to incident light is called a photoconductive cell. Photoelectric transducers are therefore used to measure parameters that can be converted into controlled changes in what primary quantity?
Anatomy of a pH meter — how many electrochemical cells? A standard laboratory/industrial pH meter uses a measuring (glass) electrode and a reference electrode. Considering their electrochemical arrangement, how many cells are effectively involved?
Limits of non-contact thermometry — where can’t radiation thermometers be used? A radiation (optical/infrared) thermometer measures temperature from emitted radiation without touching the target. In which of the following cases is such a thermometer not suitable?
