1(20%). In the system below, the pump is set to make a step increase in flow by 50% of the
initial steady-state value. Will the concentration, C, in the tank ever reach a new
steady-state value? Why? Mathematically prove your answer using Laplace transform
techniques. The flow out of the tank is proportional to h. The fluid properties are
constant.

2(30%). For the system below, there is an energy impulse in the input that can be described
by CpFinTin =  that perturbs the original steady-state. Assuming the density and heat
capacity of the fluid are both constants, mathematically show, using Laplace
transforms, the new steady-state T2 in terms of deviation variables.
