Question

The figure1 shows a simple level-control system in which a closed relay opens the valve and an open relay closes the valve. Input flow is not controlled. The level sensor has a transfer function of Vh=0.8h+0.4. The system uses 12 V supply. The relay closes at 6.x V and opens again at 4.y V. Where X=4 and Y=7

Figure is in image 

a. Find the value of amplifier gain, K, required to open the valve when the level reaches 1.5 m. 

b. At what level does the valve close? 

c. Suppose Q1=5m3⁄min , Q2=2m3⁄min and Qout=9m3⁄min (when open). What is the period of the level oscillation? 

d. Design a circuit to interface the sensor with a 6-bit dual-slope analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with a 10-V reference.
