Explanation of Solution

Root locus is a plot of system’s closed loop poles which is defined in terms of gain. From the root locus plot, the closed loop system stability is obtained for a given open loop transfer function for a unity feedback system. The plot of root locus is represented on a graph and it determines the behaviour of roots that changes with the change in gain of a system. Along with stability, it is also used to determine the damping ratio as well as natural frequency of the feedback system. Root locus can be obtained for both positive and negative feedback system.

3-55 A multifluid container is connected to a U-tube, as shown in Fig. P3–55. For the given specific gravities and fluid column heights, determine the gage pressure at A. Also determine the height of a mercury column that would create the same pressure at A. Answers: 0.415 kPa, 0.311 cm
I need help answering parts a and b
Required information Water initially at 200 kPa and 300°C is contained in a piston-cylinder device fitted with stops. The water is allowed to cool at constant pressure until it exists as a saturated vapor and the piston rests on the stops. Then the water continues to cool until the pressure is 100 kPa. NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part. Water 200 kPa 300°C On the T-V diagram, sketch, with respect to the saturation lines, the process curves passing through the initial, intermediate, and final states of the water. Label the T, P, and V values for end states on the process curves. Please upload your response/solution by using the controls provided below.
