Lecture 44.ppt, Wednesday, April 25, 214 Kb
This lecture concludes the discussion of nyquist stability analysis for systems containing 1/s^2 and a discussion of Nyquist's argument principle that explains the frequency domain stability criteria.

Lecture 43.ppt, Monday, April 23, 176 Kb
This lecture explains the closing of the nyquist contour when the open-loop system includes a 1/s component (like all our PI controlled systems have.)

Lecture 42.ppt, Friday April 20, 160 Kb
This lecture completes an example of Nyquist stability analysis of open loop unstable systems, and then applies it to Proportional control of Marlin's CSTR at an unstable equilibrium point. These initial examples are systems that do not include a 1/s component.

Wednesday the 18th of April was used for questions in preparation for the 3rd exam on the 19th

Lecture 40.ppt, Monday April 16, 169 Kb
This lecture introduces the Nyquist stability criteria with a first example of control for 125/[(s+5)^2(s-1)]. A one-page summary of frequency domaing stability criteria includind Bode, Simplified Nyquist and Nyquist criteria is distributed in class.

Friday the 13th of April was used to exercise the Homework 14 software assignment.

Lecture 38.ppt, Wednesday April 11, 353 Kb
This lecture concludes the discussion of Bode Diagram sketching and analysis through the contribution of the derivative mode of a PID controller to 1/(s(s+1)^2)).

Lecture 37.ppt, Monday April 9, 159 Kb
This lecture presents examples of Bode Diagram sketching for PI control of (-s+1)/(s+1) and (-1)/(s(s+1)^2)). These two systems were previously used in the root locus examples of Lecture 32.ppt.

Lecture 36.ppt, Friday April 6, 242 Kb
This lecture summarizes frequency domain guidelines and explains a complete set of rules for sketching Bode Diagrams of systems with arbitrary order. There is a second page to the sketching rules that provides a graphical summary. The second page will be included in the in-class handout; but since it is an old File in Macintosh graphics format, I can't link to it from the web or view under Windows Word.

Lecture 35.ppt, Wednesday April 4, 373 Kb
This lecture summarizes time-domain, s-domain, and frequency-domain design guidelines and then disposes of PI and PID empirical relations from Chapter 9 on Ciacone and Chapter 10's Ziegler Nichols.

Lecture 34 on Monday, April 2, covered the PID portion of the Lecture 32 overheads and then went through a SIMULINK simulation of Bode Stability criteria of Section 10.6. Updated SIMULINK programs for this demonstration are in the frintro folder in e48\grubby\new stuff. Set path and enter frintro to matlab.

On Friday March 30, Ananth will return the 2nd exam and address your questions regarding homework 11.

Lecture 32.ppt, Wednesday March 28, 292Kb
This lecture uses 5 examples to demonstrate the behavior of root locus plots for PI, and PID controller design. A one-page summary of 5 rules for root locus plots supplements Marlin's book. Marlin glosses over the importance of root-locus because, in his opinion, chemical plants have a lot of delays and root-locus requires polynomials. However, in my opinion, 2nd order Pade approximations of delays are excellent approximations that enable root locus analysis for plants with delays.

Lecture 31.ppt, Monday March 26, 261Kb
This lecture completes a presentation on P, PI, and PID control from Sections 8.4 through 8.7 using the Example 7.2 3 tank mixing model.

Lectures 28,29, and 30 covered a demonstration of how to do the s-function exercise of homework 10.2, review for the 2nd exam, and a demonstration of homework 10.3 for linearization of the 10.2 model. At the end of Friday, some of the overheads leftover from lecture 27 were covered.

Lecture 27.ppt, Friday March 16, 212Kb
This lecture discusses the use of Integral-Mode of a controller to fix the offset problem of proportional mode control. Marlin's example 7.2 model of three mixing tanks in series is then introduced. This mixing tank model is used in subsequent chapters to exemplify control principles. Today, the model allows the discussion of disturbance rejection and how integral-mode control is needed for no-offset due to disturbances. And, now seemed to be a good time to briefly mention Section's 10.6 discussion of Phase Margin and Gain Margin specifications for obtaining good closed-loop responses.

Lecture 26.ppt, Wednesday, March 14, 191Kb
This lecture continues the preview of Section 10.5 on stability analysis of control systems with proportional control of the relatively complex Example 7.1 system that requires numerical root-locus to analyze. Then a simpler 1st order plant with sensor delay with proportional control is introduced and analyzed with both analytic and numerical procedures. Next, there is a return to Chapter 7 to continue with performance specifications. The offset specification is then address by adding integral control as described in Sections 8.4 and 8.5.

Lecture 25.ppt, Monday, March 12 , 172Kb
This lecture starts in Chapter 7 on the feedback loop, picks up a little bit of Chapter 8 on block diagram of the feedback loop, warps up to catch a preview of Chapter 10 on stability analysis of feedback systems, and then returns to Chapter 7 to continue with the performance specifications (or assessments) of feedback systems.

Class was not held on Friday, March 2nd, as partial compensation for the extra time involved in evening exams.

Lecture 23.ppt, Wednesday, February 28, 87Kb
The ppt presentation discuses empirical model estimation presented in the first part of Chapter 6 in Marlin. It then demonstrates the Pade approximation of a delay. After the presentation, homework 10's software exercise will be introduced. Two tutorial documents provide step-by-step instructions on how to use SIMULINK to linearize a model of a CSTR and step-by-step instructions on how to modify the CSTR s-function to add additional dynamic equations.

Lecture 22.ppt, Monday, February 26, 95Kb
The ppt presentation discuses Marlin's section on staged processes and introduces a SIMULINK model of a Binary distillation column whose hydraulic model and other parameters were obtained from a book by Luyben, 1990, on Process Modeling Simulation and Control for Chemical Engineers. (Luybens book is very good on modeling, but all the well-worked examples are FORTRAN-based.) The files distillation..mdl, distillation_setup.m, distillation_sf.m, and distillation_sf.doc have been placed in the grubby\e48\new stuff directory. distillation_sf.doc highlights the changes needed to adapt the s-function template file to this application. The mdl file requires SIMULINK 3.0 available in the CAC labs (not compatible with FENSKE lab version 2.0).

Lecture 21.ppt, Friday, February 23, 102Kb
The ppt presentation discuses Marlin's sections on recycle structures and Multiple Input and Multiple Output systems. The last three slides were added after class as help for homework 8.

Lecture 20.ppt, Wednesday, February 21, 162Kb
The ppt presentation reviews a series of two first order systems as a second order system, and then goes into a series of 20 first order systems using a SIMULINK model to construct data for Marlin's Figure 5-5. The most useful result of Chapter 6 for approximating a series of first order systems as a delay and 1st order system is presented. Frequency response of a delay and 2nd order Pade approximation are used to introduce inverse response (identifiable when numerator zeros have positive real parts). Marlin's presentation of parallel structures is presented and the rosetta program was used to demonstrate the effect of numerator zeros on system response.

Lecture 19.ppt, Monday, February 19th, 217Kb
The ppt presentation covers 1st and 2nd order system responses presented in Chapter 5 of Marlin. It additionally covers more detail on the characteristics of 2nd order system complex roots, including Appendix C Equation 15 for a CSTR. Finally it looks at a series of two first order systems as a second order system. Some MATLAB/SIMULINK statements and examples in the presentation use additional example programs that are stored in my "new stufff" folder on grubby\e48. rosetta.m is an m-file that correlates damping factor, with pole plots, with expected time responses. AppC_Eq15.mdl is a SIMULINK model to demonstrate App C. Eq 15 open-loop and closed-loop system responses.

Lecture 18.ppt, Friday, February 16th, 236Kb
The ppt presentation helps explain answers to parts of homework 6 in regards to linear model accuracy and Euler numerical integration. The presentation next reviewed bode diagram characteristics and then demonstrated time responses using SIMULINK. The next part of the presentation drugged-up the seldom used momentum equation and applied it to a manometer behavior (in support of further explanation of response of second order systems in Chapter 5.)

Lecture 17, Wednesday,February 14, went through the steps to complete homework 6 problems 1 through 3.
Lecture 16, Monday, February 12, took questions regarding topics for the exam. And then went through a derivation on the board on for bode magnitude and phase plots characteristics when plotted on log-log scales.

The ppt presentation presents the derivation of the frequency response of a transfer function. After the ppt presentation, some features of MATLAB and SIMULINK that support frequency response analysis was presented.

Lecture 14.ppt, Wednesday, February 7th, 59 Kb
The ppt presentation presents a brief summary of inverse Laplace for a 1/s system driven by a sinusoidal input. The preferred form of the inverse due to the complex poles with the sinusoid response with a phase angle was noted. Examples of the use MATLAB to generate plots is presented. After the ppt presentation, the definition and use of transfer functions in Section 4.3 and 4.4 was introduced.

Lecture 13.ppt, Monday, February 5th, 114 Kb
The ppt presentation presents a modified derivation of the non-isothermal reactor in Appendix C. The modification includes an additional inlet flow stream, similar to what you need in homework set 5. After the power point presentation, I went over an example of applying Inverse Laplace of a 1/s system to a sinusoidal input. Also distributed in class was a copy Marlin's software laboratory workbook that will be involved with homework 6.

Lecture 12.ppt, Friday, February 2nd, 170 Kb
