Concept explainers
A metering pump is a pump capable of delivering a precise flow rate of fluid. Most metering pumps consist of an electric motor that varies the strike length of a shaft, allowing more or less fluid to pass through its body. The control of such a valve has been considered and the open-loop transfer function of the pump was found to be (Yu, 2011)
where the output of the system, Y(s), represents the liquid flow, and the input, U(s), is the command signal to the motor that varies the pump's plunger strike length.
a. Design a PID controller to reduce the steady-state error to zero with a maximum 5% overshoot and a 20% reduction in uncompensated settling time.
b. Find the characteristics of the uncompensated system.
c. Design a PID controller to reduce the steady-state error to zero; achieve a maximum 5% overshoot and a 20% reduction in uncompensated settling time.
d. Simulate the step response for the compensated system to verify the validity of your design.

- A proportional controller is used to control the height of water in a tank where the water level can vary from 0 to 4.0 m. The required height of water is and the controller is to close a valve fully when the water rises to 3.9 and open it fully when the water falls to 3.1 m. What transfer function will be required? source : Mechatronics: Electronic Control Systems in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering 6th Edition by W. Bolton question 22.4arrow_forwardProblem Consider a proportional controller whose transfer function is 15 and its reference value is 50% of output. Its output signal goes to a valve whose reference value allows a flow of 200 m/s. The valve modifies its output by 4 m/, for each percentage unit change in controller output. What will be the controller output and deviation in error if it is necessary to change the flow to 240 m/,?arrow_forwardYou are the mechatronics engineer of a manufacturing plant. You decide to perform an analysis on a robot arm of the assembly line with the objective of optimizing its performance. After taking several readings of the speed of the arm’s end effector, you approximate its velocity to the function given below. v(t) = -t4 + 5t3 - 7t2 + 3t + 0.22 0 =< t =< 3 where the velocity is in ms-1 d) Knowing that the distance travelled by an object is the area under its velocity-time graph, determine the distance travelled by the end effector on the interval 0 =< t =< 1 by using the mid-ordinate rule. Simpson’s rule correct to 3 decimal places using four intervals. e) Calculate the same distance as in (d) above by using the appropriate definite integral. f) Compare the distances you calculated in (d) and (e) above and comment on the accuracy of the two methods you used in (d)arrow_forward

It is proposed to control the temperature with a proportional only controller of gain Kc. The temperature dynamics of the reactor can be modelled as a mixture of a CSTR (1st order) and PFR (dead time) to changes either in inlet temperature, or in the heating/cooling jacket flowrate via Ke-tas Ts+1 i) Considering a change in inlet temperature show why a 1st order model for a CSTR and a dead time model for a PFR are appropriate.
