Feedback Control Systems 1. Consider the following heat exchanger. The flow rate of the process fluid (Fi)
is acting as a disturbance.

Next we assume that the set point does not vary – that is, its deviation variable is zero;

Eliminate all the intermediate variables, ε(s), C(s), m(s) and ym(s), by combining equations 1 through 5. The result is

This is the closed-loop transfer function between the process flow and the outlet temperature.
(d) Develop the transfer function between the outlet temperature (To) and the
set point (Tset). Then write down the overall closed-loop transfer function.
Similar to part (c), if we let d(s) = 0 and combine equations 1 through 5, the closed loop transfer function between the set point and the outlet temperature results;

(e) Write down the characteristic equation of the loop.
The characteristic equation is the denominator of the closed-loop transfer functions:
mcfp GGGG+1
(f) Qualitatively explain what is observed if the poles of the transfer function are complex conjugates.
Complex conjugate poles, such as p1 and p2. Complex poles always appear in conjugate pairs, p1 = a + bi and p2 = a - bi. These roots give rise to terms such as eat sin(βt+φ). sin(βt+φ) is a periodic, oscillating function, while the behavior of eat depends on the value of the real part a. Thus,
• If a > 0, then eat � ∞ as t� ∞ , and eatsin(βt+φ) grows to infinity in an oscillating manner (Fig. 1a).
• If a < 0, then eat � 0 as t � ∞ , and eatsin(βt+φ) decays to zero in an
oscillating manner with decreasing amplitude (Fig. 1b).
• If a = 0, then eat = 1 for all times, and eatsin(βt+φ) = sin(βt+φ), the
response oscillates continuously with constant amplitude (Fig. 1c).

2. Each of the following two systems is controlled with a proportional feedback controller. In each case find the range of values of the proportional gain Kc that will produce stable closed-loop responses. Also identify the characteristic equation, in each case. Assume that Gm = Gf =1.
(a) Firstly we write the characteristic equation of the system: 01 =+ mpfc GGGG

Rewriting the characteristic equation as ( ) 0211.0 =++ cKs
Solving, we get

For stable closed-loop responses the root, s, must be negative i.e.
1.0
12 −− cK ≤ 0
Kc < 2
1− is the range of values for Kc for which the system response is stable.
(b) Firstly we write the characteristic equation of the system: 01 =+ mpfc GGGG

Rewriting this as the characteristic equation: ( ) 05210 23 =−+++ cKsss

5102 −− cK

S0 (Kc –5) 0
All values in the first column must be positive for a stable closed-loop response; therefore there is must be no sign change and so
05 ≥−cK and ( )

5≥cK and 2.5≤cK
which gives the following range of stability 2.55 ≤≤ cK
3. For the control system below, find the closed-loop transfer function between
the output C and setpoint R. Then,
The closed-loop transfer function between C and R is:

(a) Determine the value of K above which the system is unstable.
To find the amount of K which makes the system unstable, use the Routh-Hurwitz array as follows:
S4 1 6 1 + K S3 4 4 0 S2 5 1 + K S1

416 K−

S0 1 + K To have a stable system, all the elements in the first column must be positive, therefore,
05
416 ≥− K � 4≤K
and,
01 ≥+ K � 1−≥K At K = 4, the system is on the verge of instability. (b) Determine the value of K for which two of the roots are on the imaginary
axis, and determine the values of these imaginary roots and the remaining two roots.
At K = 4, the characteristic equation will be,
05464 234 =++++ ssss or, ( )( ) 0541 22 =+++ sss Therefore the poles of the system which are located on the imaginary axis are the
roots of (s2 + 1), which are s = ± j. The other two poles are the roots of (s2 + 4s + 5), which are s = -2 ± j.
