Describe the motivation behind defining the cutoff frequency at the point where the gain is - 3dB as opposed to -4dB or -5dB.

Which of the following controllers anticipates the future from the slope of errors over time? a)-proportional b)-on/off c)-integral d)-derivative.

Air is compressed isentropically from an initial state of 300 k and 101 kpa to a final temperature of 1000 k. determine the final pressure using the following approaches: (a) approximate analysis (using properties at the average temperature) (b) exact analysis

Asimple rankine cycle uses water as the working fluid. the water enters the turbine at 10 mpa and 480c while the condenser operates at 6 kpa. if the turbine has an isentropic efficiency of 80 percent while the pump has an isentropic efficiency of 70 percent determine the thermal efficiency
