Create a Simulink subsystem block for this element. b. Use the subsystem block to create a Simulink model of the system discussed in Example 7.4.3 and shown in Figure 7.4.3a. Assume that the mass inflow rate \(q_{m i}\) is a step function. c. Use the Simulink model to obtain plots of \(h_{1}(t)\) and \(h_{2}(t)\) for the following parameter values: \(A_{1}=2 \mathrm{~m}^{2}, A_{2}=5 \mathrm{~m}^{2}, R_{1}=4001 /(\mathrm{m} \cdot \mathrm{s})\), R_{2}=6001 /(\mathrm{m} \cdot \mathrm{s}), \(\rho=1000 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}, q_{m i}=50 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{s}, h_{1}(0)=1.5 \mathrm{~m}\), and \(h_{2}(0)=0.5 \mathrm{~m}\).

Use Simulink to solve Problem 7.61(b).

Use Simulink to solve Problem 7.63.

Use Simulink to solve Problem 7.64. Plot h(t) for both parts (a) and (b).

Refer to Example 7.10.1. Use the simulation with \(q=8 \times 10^{5}\) to compare the energy consumption and the thermostat cycling frequency for the two temperature bands \(\left(69^{\circ}, 71^{\circ}\right)\) and \(\left(68^{\circ}, 72^{\circ}\right)\).

Consider the liquid-level system shown in Figure 7.3.3. Suppose that the height h is controlled by using a relay to switch the flow rate \(q_{m i}\) between the values 0 and 50 kg/s. The flow rate is switched on when the height is less than 4.5 m and is switched off when the height reaches 5.5 m. Create a Simulink model for this application using the values \(A=2 \mathrm{~m}^{2}, R=4001 /(\mathrm{m} \cdot \mathrm{s})\), \(\rho=1000 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\), and h(0) = 1 m. Obtain a plot of h(t).
