P5.4 A process contains a storage vat, v₁, which is fed by the outflow of a vat, v2, of similar dimensions. The cross-sectional area of both vats is constant at 15 m². The output flow from v₁ is measured by a flow transducer which provides an output of 1.2 V for a change of 1 m³/s in flow. The input to vat v₂ is controlled by a pump which produces a flow of 2 m³/s for every 1 A. The gravity outflow from the first tank is controlled by a variable restriction, K, on the outlet pipe. (a) Produce a schematic diagram for the system. (b) Develop the modelling equations for the process. (c) Write down the block diagram using Laplace transform notation for the mathematics.
