(choose chapter or problem)

The primary control loop of a nuclear power plant includes a time delay due to the need to transport the fluid from the reactor to the measurement point as shown in Figure DP9.11. The transfer function of the controller is K, Gc(s) ~KP + The transfer function of the reactor and time delay is G(s) - TS + r where T = 0.4 s and T = 0.2 s. Using frequency response methods, design the controller so that the overshoot of the system is P.O. ss 10%. With this controller in the loop, estimate the percent overshoot and settling time (with a 2% criterion) to a unit step. Determine the actual overshoot and settling time and compare with the estimated values.
