Homework Assignment # 5

Due date: March 27th , 2021

1. Linearize the following two models with respect to a steady state points
(a)
q
ẏ(t) = − 9 + y(t) + u(t) d(t) + 4u(t)

(b)

ρV Cp Ṫ (t) = qF ρCp (TF (t) − T (t)) − KqJ (t)0.8 A (T (t) − TJ )

where T (t) is the output of a system, TF (t) a temperature disturbance, and qJ (t) is the
input (volumetric flow rate into a cooling jacket). All variables that do not include the
argument "t" may be assumed constant. All variables are defined in problem 2.8 of the
textbook.

2. Problem 5.2
3. Problem 5.4
Hint: You may find it convenient to express the rectangular pulse as a sum of two step
functions
4. Problem 5.8 (a), (b) and (c).
