(a) The response is overdamped if the term in the radical is positive:

( 1 + 2)2 4 1 2 (1 k2) = 12 + 2 1 2 + 22 4 1 2 + 4 1 2 k2
2

= 1 2 1 2 + 2 + 4 1 2 k 2

= 1 2

)2 + 4 1 2 k2

This term is positive as long as 1 , 2 , and k2 are positive, so the response is overdamped.

(b) The response is stable if both roots are negative if 0 < k2 < 1.

r1 =

1 + 2 +

( 1 + 2)2 4 1 2(1 k2)


2 1 2

If 1 , 2 , and k 2 are positive, and if k 2 < 1, then the positive term in the numerator is always less in
magnitude than the negative term, and the root is negative. The other root has to be negative
because both terms in the numerator are negative. So, the response is stable.

(c) Effective time constants


As the response is overdamped, we can derive the formulas for the two effective time constants.
These are the negative reciprocals of the two real roots:
2 1 2

e1 =
1 + 2

( 1 2)2 + 4 1 2 k2

2 1 2

e1 =

( 1 2)2 + 4 1 2 k2

The first of these is the dominant time constant.

Problem 2-18. Linearization of radiation heat transfer--range of accuracy.
q ( T) = 4 A T

Use subscript "b" for base value for linearization.

From the solution to Problem 2-17(e), the slope is:

= 4 A T

Temperature range for which the heat transfer rate is within 5% of the linear
approximation:
error = A T A Tb + 4 A Tb T Tb

= 0.05 A T

T 4 Tb T + 3Tb = 0.05T
As the error is always positive, the absolute value brackets can be dropped. Rearrange into a
polynomial and find its roots:

Tmax = 665 K

So the range for which the linear approximation is within 5% of the heat rate is much wider than the
range for which the value of the slope is within 5% of the actual slope. We must keep in mind that
the parameters of the dynamic model are a function of the slope, not the heat rate.
