CHAPTER1Introduction to Control SystemsThere are, in general, no unique solutions to the following exercises andproblems. Other equally valid block diagrams may be submitted by thestudent.ExercisesE1.1Describe typical sensors that can measure each of the following:a.Linear position→ultrasonic transducerb.Velocity (or speed)→Doppler radarc.Non-gravitational acceleration→inertial measurement unitd.Rotational position (or angle)→rotary encodere.Rotational velocity→gyroscopef.Temperature→thermocoupleg.Pressure→barometerh.Liquid (or gas) flow rate→velocimeteri.Torque→torquemeterj.Force→load cellk.Earth's magnetic field→magnetometerl.Heart rate→electrocardiographE1.2Describe typical actuators that can convert the following:a.Fluidic energy to mechanical energy→hydraulic cylinderb.Electrical energy to mechanical energy→electric motorc.Mechanical deformation to electrical energy→piezoelectric actuatord.Chemical energy to kinetic energy→automobile enginee.Heat to electrical energy→thermoelectric generator1Preview Mode
