Example:
Two non-interacting tanks are connected in series as shown in Fig. 5.1 a. The time
constants are τ2 =1 and τ1 =0.5; R 2=1. Sketch the response of the level in tank 2 if a
unit-step change is made in the inlet flow rate to tank 1.
Solution:
The transfer function for this system is found directly from Equation above thus

The difference between the transfer function for the non-interacting system, and that
for the interacting system, is the presence of the cross-product term A1R2 in the
coefficient of s. 12 A1 R2
