Chapter 24, Problem 1RQ

Describe the difference between an open- and a closed-loop operation.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

The difference between an open- and a closed-loop operation.

Answer to Problem 1RQ

Closed-loop operations work on the principle of feedback. The output from the current operation is used to modify the input for the next operation. The open-loop operation works only on the input. There is no feedback for this open-loop operations.

Explanation of Solution

Some of the significant differences between an open- and a closed-loop operation are as follows:

Closed-loop operation Open-loop operation
Its basis is the output of the current operation. The feedback from the current output is used to modify the input. Does not have any feedback system. It completely works on the input.
Less stable. Mostly stables.
Overall cost is high. Overall cost is low.
Easy to calibrate. Difficult to calibrate.
Examples are refrigerator, Air conditioner, toaster, etc. Examples are automatic washing machine, Traffic light, TV remote, etc.
The structure of closed-loop operations are complex and so they are difficult to be implemented. The structure of open-loop operations are simple and so they are easy to be implemented.

Conclusion:

Closed-loop operation works on the feedback i.e. its basis is the output whereas open-loop operation is completely based on the input.

A linear system is one that satisfies the principle of superposition. In other words, if an input u₁ yields the output y₁, and an input u2 yields the output y2, the system is said to be linear if a com- bination of the inputs u = u₁ + u2 yield the sum of the outputs y = y1 + y2. Using this fact, determine the output y(t) of the following linear system: given the input: P(s) = = Y(s) U(s) = s+1 s+10 u(t) = e−2+ sin(t) =e
The manometer fluid in the figure given below is mercury where D = 3 in and h = 1 in. Estimate the volume flow in the tube (ft3/s) if the flowing fluid is gasoline at 20°C and 1 atm. The density of mercury and gasoline are 26.34 slug/ft3 and 1.32 slug/ft3 respectively. The gravitational force is 32.2 ft/s2.
