Question 3.11: The differential equation model for a particular chemical pr...

The differential equation model for a particular chemical process has been obtained from experimental test data,

 

\tau_{1} \tau_{2} \frac{d^{2} y}{d t^{2}}+\left(\tau_{1}+\tau_{2}\right) \frac{d y}{d t}+y=K u(t)

 

where \tau_{1} and \tau_{2} are constants and u(t) is the input function. What are the functions of time \left(\text { e.g. }, e^{-t}\right) in the solution for output y(t) for the following cases? (Optional: find the solutions for y(t).)

 

(a)  u(t)=a S(t)  step change of magnitude, A

 

(b)  u(t)=b e^{-t / \tau} \quad \tau \neq \tau_{1} \neq \tau_{2}

 

(c)  u(t)=c e^{-t / \tau} \quad \tau=\tau_{1} \neq \tau_{2}

 

(d)  u(t)=d \sin \omega t \quad \tau_{1} \neq \tau_{2}
