Find a negative feedback controller with at least two tunable gains that (1) results in zero steady state error when the input is a unit step (1/s). (and show why it works); (2) Gives a settling time of 4 seconds; (3) has 10% overshoot. Use the standard 2nd order approximation. Plot the step response of the system and compare the standard approximation with the plot.
Answer:
Gc(s) = [tex]\frac{0.1s + 0.28727}{s}[/tex]
Explanation:
comparing the standard approximation with the plot attached we can tune the PI gains so that the desired response is obtained. this is because the time requirement of the setting is met while the %OS requirement is not achieved instead a 12% OS is seen from the plot.

A refrigerator uses refrigerant-134a as the working fluid and operates on the ideal vapor-compression refrigeration cycle except for the compression process. The refrigerant enters the evaporator at 120 kPa with a quality of 34 percent and leaves the compressor at 70°C. If the compressor consumes 450 W of power, determine (a) the mass flow rate of the refrigerant, (b) the condenser pressure, and (c) the COP of the refrigerator
Answer:
(a) 0.0064 kg/s
(b) 800 KPa
(c) 2.03
Explanation:
The ideal vapor compression cycle consists of following processes:
Process 1-2 Isentropic compression in a compressor
Process 2-3 Constant-pressure heat rejection in a condenser
Process 3-4 Throttling in an expansion device
Process 4-1 Constant-pressure heat absorption in an evaporator
For state 4 (while entering compressor):
x₄ = 34% = 0.34
P₄ = 120 KPa
from saturated table:
h₄ = hf + x hfg = 22.4 KJ/kg + (0.34)(214.52 KJ/kg)
h₄ = 95.34 KJ/kg
For State 1 (Entering Compressor):
h₁ = hg at 120 KPa
h₁ = 236.99 KJ/kg
s₁ = sg at 120 KPa = 0.94789 KJ/kg.k
For State 3 (Entering Expansion Valve)
Since 3 - 4 is an isenthalpic process.
Therefore,
h₃ = h₄ = 95.34 KJ/kg
Since this state lies at liquid side of saturation line, therefore, h₃ must be hf. Hence from saturation table we find the pressure by interpolation.
P₃ = 800 KPa
For State 2 (Leaving Compressor)
Since, process 2-3 is at constant pressure. Therefore,
P₂ = P₃ = 800 KPa
T₂ = 70°C (given)
Saturation temperature at 800 KPa is 31.31°C, which is less than T₂. Thus, this is super heated state. From super heated property table:
h₂ = 306.9 KJ/kg
(a)
Compressor Power = m(h₂ - h₁)
where,
m = mass flow rate of refrigerant.
m = Compressor Power/(h₂ - h₁)
m = (0.450 KJ/s)/(306.9 KJ/kg - 236.99 KJ/kg)
m = 0.0064 kg/s
(b)
Condenser Pressure = P₂ = P₃ = 800 KPa
(c)
The COP of ideal vapor compression cycle is given as:
COP = (h₁ - h₄)/(h₂ - h₁)
COP = (236.99 - 95.34)/(306.9 - 236.99)
COP = 2.03

Sludge wasting rate (Qw) from the solids residence time (Thetac = mcrt) calculation. Given the following information from the previous problem. The total design flow is 15,000 m3/day. Theoretical hydraulic detention time (Theta) = 8 hours. The NPDES limit is 25 mg/L BOD/30 mg/L TSS.
Assume that the waste strength is 170 mg/L BOD after primary clarification.
XA=MLSS = 2200 mg/L,
Xw = Xu = XR = 6,600 mg/L,
qc = 8 days.
Make sure you account for the solids in the discharge.
What volume of sludge (Qw=m3/day) is wasted each day from the secondary clarifiers?
Answer:
The volume of sludge wasted each day from the secondary classifiers is Qw = 208.33 m^3 / day
Explanation:
Check the file attached for a complete solution.
The volume of the aeration tank was first calculated, V = 5000 m^3 / day.
The value of V was consequently substituted into the formula for the wasted sludge flow. The value of the wasted sludge flow was calculated to be Qw = 208.33 m^3 / day.
Two Electric field vectors E1 and E2 are perpendicular to each other; obtain its base
vectors.
Answer:
<E1, E2>.
Explanation:
So, in the question above we are given that the Two Electric field vectors E1 and E2 are perpendicular to each other. Thus, we are going to have the i and the j components for the two Electric Field that is E1 and E2 respectively. That is to say the addition we give us a resultant E which is an arbitrary vector;
E = |E| cos θi + |E| sin θj. -------------------(1).
Therefore, if we make use of the components division rule we will have something like what we have below;
x = |E2|/ |E| cos θ and y = |E1|/|E| sin θ
Therefore, we will now have;
E = x |E2| i + y |E1| j.
The base vectors is then Given as <E1, E2>.
Create an abstract class DiscountPolicy. It should have a single abstract method computeDiscount that will return the discount for the purchase of a given number of a single item. The method has two parameters, count and itemCost. 2. Derive a class BulkDiscount from DiscountPolicy, as described in the previous exercise. It should have a constructor that has two parameters, minimum and percent. It should define the method computeDiscount so that if the quantity purchased of an item is more than minimum, the discount is percent percent. 3. Derive a class BuyNItemsGetOneFree from DiscountPolicy, as described in Exercise 1. The class should have a constructor that has a single parameter n. In addition, the class should define the method computeDiscount so that every nth item is free. For example, the following table gives the discount for the purchase of various counts of an item that costs $10, when n is 3: count 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Discount 0 0 10 10 10 20 20
4. Derive a class CombinedDiscount from DiscountPolicy, as described in Exercise 1. It should have a constructor that has two parameters of type DiscountPolicy. It should define the method computeDiscount to return the maximum value returned by computeDiscount for each of its two private discount policies. The two discount policies are described in Exercises 2 and 3. 5. Define DiscountPolicy as an interface instead of the abstract class described in Exercise 1.

Answer:
d[0] = 11111111
d[1] = 11011101
d[2] = 1111011
Explanation:
Assume that the number of bits is 8. The voltage range input is -8 to 7 volts. The range is thus 15V, and the resolution is 15/2^8 = 0.0586 volts. We will first add +8 to the input to convert it to a 0-15v signal. Then find the equivalent bit representation. For 7.8 volts, the binary signal will be all 1's, since the max input voltage for the ADC is 7 volts. For 4.95, we have 4.95+8 = 12.95 volts. Thus, N = 12.95/0.0586 = 221. The binary representation is 11011101. For -0.8, we have -0.8 + 8 = 7.2. Thus, N = 7.2/0.0586 = 123. The binary representation is 1111011.
Thus,
d[0] = 11111111
d[1] = 11011101
d[2] = 1111011

Determine the drag on a small circular disk of 0.02-ft diameter moving 0.01 ft/s through oil with a specific gravity of 0.89 and a viscosity 10000 times that of water. The disk is oriented normal to the upstream velocity. By what percent is the drag reduced if the disk is oriented parallel to the flow?
Answer:
33.3%
Explanation:
Given that:
specific gravity (SG) = 0.89
Diameter (D) = 0.01 ft/s
Density of oil [tex]\rho= SG\rho _{h20} = 0.89 * 1.94=1.7266\frac{sl}{ft^3}[/tex]
Since the viscosity 10000 times that of water, The reynold number [tex]R_E=\frac{\rho VD}{\mu} =\frac{1.7266*0.01*0.01}{0.234}=7.38*10^{-4}[/tex]
Since RE < 1, the drag coefficient for normal flow is given as: [tex]C_{D1}=\frac{24.4}{R_E}= \frac{20.4}{7.38*10^{-4}}=2.76*10^4[/tex]
the drag coefficient for parallel flow is given as: [tex]C_{D2}=\frac{13.6}{R_E}= \frac{13.6}{7.38*10^{-4}}=1.84*10^4[/tex]
Percent reduced = [tex]\frac{D_1-D_2}{D_2} *100=\frac{2.76-1.84}{3.3}=33.3[/tex] = 33.3%
