Explanation of Solution

A device that converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy is called as generator. The sources of mechanical energy could be hydraulic turbine, combustion engine, wind turbine, hand crank, and steam engine.

There are two type of generator. These types are as enlisted below.

  1. 1. DC generator
  2. 2. AC generator

The generator which produces DC voltage at the output is called DC generator. The generator which produces AC voltage at the output is called an AC generator.

These generators differ from one another on the basis of the output and the construction of the generator. DC generator has the commutator which converts the AC voltage to DC voltage.

Consider the feedback controlled blending system shown below, which is designed to keep theoutlet concentration constant despite potential variations in the stream 1 composition. The density of all streamsis 920 kg/m3. At the nominal steady state, the flow rates of streams 1 and 2 are 950 and 425 kg/min,respectively, the liquid level in the tank is 1.3 m, the incoming mass fractions are x1 = 0.27, x2 = 0.54. Noticethe overflow line, indicating that the liquid level remains constant (i.e. any change in total inlet flow ratetranslates immediately to the same change in the outlet flow rate). You may assume the stream 1 flowrate andthe stream 2 composition are both constant. Use minutes as the time unit throughout this problem.   Identify any controlled variable(s) (CVs), manipulated variable(s) (MVs),and disturbance variable(s) (DVs) in this problem. For each, explain how you know that’show it is classified.CVs: ___________, MVs: _____________, DVs: ______________ b)  Draw a block diagram…
