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.

I tried solving this one but have no idea where I went wrong can you please help me out with this?
Question 1. A tube rotates in the horizontal xy plane with a constant angular velocity w about the z-axis. A particle of mass m is released from a radial distance R when the tube is in the position shown. This problem is based on problem 3.2 in the text. y ω R m 2R Figure 1 X a) Draw a free body diagram of the particle if the tube is frictionless. b) Draw a free body diagram of the particle if the coefficient of friction between the sides of the tube and the particle is μs = flk = fl. c) For the case where the tube is frictionless, what is the radial speed at which the particle leaves the tube? d) For the case where there is friction, derive a differential equation that would allow you to solve for the radius of the particle as a function of time. I'm only looking for the differential equation. DO NOT solve it. e) If there is no friction, what is the angle of the tube when the particle exits? • Hint: You may need to solve a differential equation for the last part. The "potentially…
