The sensing
Answer to Problem 10.1P
A traffic light can be either closed or open loop system. If it has a sensor to detect the number of vehicles, it is a closed loop system.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
To consider a Traffic light as a device
A device or process is said to be in a closed loop if it has a feedback control system and it is an open loop if it does not have any feedback control system. Traffic light can be either closed or open loop system. If it has a sensor to detect the number of vehicles, it is a closed-loop system.
Conclusion:
Traffic light can be either closed or open loop system. If it has a sensor to detect number of vehicles, it is a closed loop system.

The sensing mechanism in Washing machine and discuss whether it is closed loop or open system.
Answer to Problem 10.1P
Some Washing machines have closed loop system if a sensor is present and some others have open loop system without a sensor.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
To consider a Washing machine as a device
A device or process is said to be in closed loop if it has a feedback control system and it is an open loop if it does not have any feedback control system. If a washing machine has a sensor to detect water level, dirt and for adjusting the frequency of cycles then such washing machines have a closed loop system else washing machines have a open loop system.
Conclusion:
Some Washing machines have a closed loop system if a sensor is present and some others have open loop system without a sensor.
(c)

(f)
The sensing mechanism in human body and discuss whether it is open or closed loop system.
Answer to Problem 10.1P
A Temperature regulator in a human body has a sensor to detect temperature and maintain it around 98. 6F in the environment. Hence it is a closed loop system.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
To consider a Temperature regulator in a human body as a device
A device or process is said to be in a closed loop if it has a feedback control system and it is an open loop if it does not have any feedback control system. A Temperature regulation in a human body has a sensor to detect temperature and maintain it around 98. 6F in the environment. Hence, it is a closed loop system.
Conclusion:
Different devices have sensing mechanisms depending on their application. They may be closed or open loop systems. A Temperature regulator in a human body has a sensor to detect temperature and maintain it around 98. 6F in the environment. Hence it is a closed loop system.
