Question
Chapter 5, Problem 5.17E
Interpretation Introduction
(a)
Interpretation:
The transfer function model needs to be derived.
Concept introduction:
Steady-state gain is the steady-state value of a transfer function that has been attended by a given unit step in the input.
Interpretation Introduction
(b)
Interpretation:
Whether the transfer function is unique or not needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
A transfer function is a simple way to represent a continuous, time-invariant system in terms of its input-output relationship. The transition method is accomplished by adding a Laplace transform to the differential equations representing a dynamic process, given no initial conditions.

A 30.0-g block of iron at 200.0°C is dropped into a liter of water in an insulated flask at 25.0°C and 1 atm. The specific enthalpy of iron
is given by the expression Ĥ(J/g) = 17.3 T(°C).
Recitation 11 Problem 2
Eight fluid ounces (1 qt = fl 32 oz) of a beverage in a glass
at 23.0 °C is to be cooled by adding ice and stirring. The
properties of the beverage may be taken to be those of liquid
water. The enthalpy of the ice relative to liquid water at the
triple point is -348 kJ/kg.
Estimate the mass of ice (g) that must melt to bring the liquid
temperature to 4.0 °C, neglecting energy losses to the
surroundings. (Note: For this isobaric batch process, the
energy balance reduces to Q = AH)
A solid slab of 5.15 wt% agar gel at 278 K is 6.00 mm thick and contains a uniform concentration of urea of 0.2 kmol/m3. Diffusion is only in the direction through two parallel flat surfaces 6.00 mm apart. The slab is suddenly immersed in pure turbulent water so that the surface resistance can be assumed to be negligible; i.e, the convective coefficient hm is very large. The diffusivity of urea in the agar is 4.72e-10 m2/s. a) Calculate the concentration at the midpoint of the slab and (b) 1.50 mm from the surface after 19 h. c) if the thickness of the slab is halved, what would be the midpoint concentration in 19 h.
