2. The figure below shows an electroneumatic clutch actuation system. When the supply valve
is open, high-pressure air from the supply tank flows through the valve to the cylinder
chamber. The constant supply pressure is Ps and the ambient pressure is Patm. The supply
valve has a fully open orifice area A0. Force FL is applied at the piston. The piston has a mass
m, and cross-sectional area A1 at the left side and A2 at the right side. The chamber volume is
V = V0 + A1x, where V0 is the volume when the position displacement x is zero. Derive the
mathematical model of the electropeumatic system when the supply valve is open and the
exhaust valve is closed. Assume the supply valve flow is always unchoked.
(a) Obtain the mathematical mode of the chamber when the supply valve is open. (5)
(b) Obtain the expression of mass flow rate through the supply valve. (5)
(c) Obtain the mathematical model of the piston. (5)
3. A general unit feedback control system is shown in Fig. 1 and its open-loop transfer function
and closed-loop transfer function bode diagrams are shown in Fig. 2 with K = 4. The transfer
function for controller is G c ( s )=K and the transfer function for plant is
