A tank having a cross-sectional area of 2 ft is operating at steady state with an inlet flow rate of 2.0 cfm. The flow-head characteristics are shown in Fig. P5-3. (a) Find the transfer function H(s)/Q(s). (b) If the flow to the tank increases from 2.0 to 2.2 cfm according to a step change, calculate the level h two minutes after the change occurs.

5.1. Derive the transfer function H(s)/Q(s) for the liquid-level system of Fig. P5-1 when
(a) The tank level operates about the steady-state value of h, = 1 ft
(b) The tank level operates about the steady-state
value of h, = 3 ft
q. ft'/min
The pump removes water at a constant rate of
10 cfm (cubic feet per minute); this rate is inde-
pendent of head. The cross-sectional area of the
tank is 1.0 ft, and the resistance Ris 0.5 f/cfm.
5.2. A liquid-level system, such as the one shown in
Fig. 5-1, has a cross-sectional area of 3.0 f². The
h(1)

5.4. Develop a formula for finding the time constant of
the liquid-level system shown in Fig. P5–4 when
the average operating level is ho. The resistance
