ASSIGNMENT 4

For all problems, assume

𝐺𝑓 = 𝐺𝑚 = 1

Question 1

A PI controller is used in a control system having a first order process.

i. Find expressions for the damping factor and the time constant for the closed loop response.
ii. Find Kc if,

𝐾𝑝 = 1

𝜏𝑝 = 0.5 𝑚𝑖𝑛

𝜏𝐼 = 0.12 𝑚𝑖𝑛

𝜉 = 0.65

Question 2

A heat exchanger arrangement ancillary to a catalytic cracking unit is characterized by the transfer
function:

G p s  
20
1  0.67s 10.2s 2  3.1s  1

Deduce the condition for stability of the heat exchanger based on Routh-Hurwitz criterion for the
closed loop containing a PI controller.

Question 3

𝑦𝑠𝑝 𝑦
In the control system shown in above, find the value of 𝐾𝑐 for which the system is on the verge
of instability. The controller is replaced by a PD controller, for which the transfer function is
𝐾𝑐 (𝜏𝐷 𝑠 + 1). If 𝐾𝑐 = 10, determine the range of 𝜏𝐷 for which the system is stable.

Question 4

Deduce the conditions for stability for a control system with the following configurations

G p s  
1
s  10.5s  1
PI-controller with Kc = 5 and  I  0.25

Assume the transfer functions of the measuring device and final control elements equal 1.

(ii) What will the stability be if a P-controller of the same gain is used instead?
