1. Give the state space and transfer function model of a first order process with time

delay.
2. What is the role of a zero in the dynamic response of a process?
3. Depict graphically the types of step response behaviours possible in a second

PART- B(1x 12+1x 13 =25)

6. (a) A liquid-phase first-order isothermal reaction is performed in a well-stirred

reactor. The reactor is open to the atmosphere allowing the volumne of the liquid in

it to vary. The exit flow is driven by gravity and its volumetric flowrate is given
by: F = K,NV where K is a constant and V is the volume of the contents of

the reactor. For a first order reaction, the rate of reaction for reactant A in units of
kmol/m'-s is given by (-r,)= kC,where CA is the concentration of the reactant
in appropriate units. The densities of all thestreams are independent of the
composition, and the concentration of the reactant in the inlet stream is given by
CA0.
(i) Derive a dynamic model describing the variation of the volume V and the
concentration CA in the reactor.
