Find inverse of Laplace transform in terms of s domain.

2. Find the Laplace of the given equation

3. Consider a CSTR or mixing tank of 4 liters having both input as q i and output as qo
(2
3
m /min). If a step input is given to the process with a concentration of 5%, what will the
transient response of the mixing tank?

4.

Draw a block diagram for the control system generated when a human being steers an
automobile.

5. Find the Laplace of the given equation

6. Consider the mixed tank heater as shown in figure. Develop a transfer function relating
the tank outlet temperature to changes in the inlet temperature. Determine the response of
the outlet temperature of the tank to a step change in the inlet temperature from 60 to
70C. Before we proceed, intuitively what would we expect to happen? If the inlet
temperature rises by 10C, we expect the outlet temperature to eventually rise by 10C if
nothing else changes.
