Question 6
Consider a liquid flow system consisting of a sealed tank with non-condensible gas above the liquid as
shown in the drawing below. Derive an unsteady-state model relating the liquid level h to the input
flow rate q
i
. Is operation of this system independent of the ambient pressure P
a
,? What about for a
system open to the atmosphere?
You may make the following assumptions:
i. The gas obeys the ideal gas law. A constant amount of
g
m M moles of gas are present in
the tank.
ii. The operation is isothermal,

iii. A square root relation holds for flow through the valve, that is

Question 7
Two surge tanks are used to dampen pressure fluctuations caused by erratic operation of a large air
compressor (see figure below).
a. If the discharge pressure of the compressor is P
d
(t) and the operating pressure of the furnace is P
f
.
(constant), develop a dynamic model for the pressures in the two surge tanks as well as for the air
mass flows at points a. b. and c.
You may assume that
the valve resistances (R
a,b,c
) are constant,
that the valve flow characteristics are linear (that is flow through valve is directly
proportional to the pressure drop, e.g.

that the surge processes operate isothermally. and that the ideal gas law holds.
b. How would you modify your model if the surge tanks operated adiabatically? Ifthe ideal gas law
were not a good approximation?

Question 8
a. For the input wave given by sint, where 2 e = , what is the Laplace transform of this input
wave?
