Derive Laplace transforms of the input signals shown in Figs. E3.4a and E3.4b by summing component functions found in Table 3.1. 

This is the equation for a plug flow reactor. It can be derived directly from the rate equations with the aid of Laplace transforms. The sequences of second-order reactions of Figs. 7-5n and 7-5c required numerical integrations. 

The Laplace transform of a derivative dy/dt is found by application of Equation (3-65) and integration by parts ... 

Then Eqs. (3-130) are substituted into Eqs. (3-128), giving Ca. and cc as functions of time. The final expressions are not written here because we have already derived them by the Laplace transform method they are Eqs. (3-99), (3-101), and (3-103), with X2 and X3 replacing a and p. 

In the context of chemical kinetics, the eigenvalue technique and the method of Laplace transforms have similar capabilities, and a choice between them is largely dependent upon the amount of algebraic labor required to reach the final result. Carpenter discusses matrix operations that can reduce the manipulations required to proceed from the eigenvalues to the concentration-time functions. When dealing with complex reactions that include irreversible steps by the eigenvalue method, the system should be treated as an equilibrium system, and then the desired special case derived from the general result. For such problems the Laplace transform method is more efficient.

Solutions derived by Laplace transformation are in terms of the complex variable s. In some cases, it is necessary to retransform the solution in terms of time, performing an inverse transformation... 

It is interesting to note that independent, direct calculations of the PMC transients by Ramakrishna and Rangarajan (the time-dependent generation term considered in the transport equation and solved by Laplace transformation) have yielded an analogous inverse root dependence of the PMC transient lifetime on the electrode potential.37 This shows that our simple derivation from stationary equations is sufficiently reliable. It is interesting that these authors do not discuss a lifetime maximum for their formula, such as that observed near the onset of photocurrents (Fig. 22). Their complicated formula may still contain this information for certain parameter constellations, but it is applicable only for moderate flash intensities.

The derivation of eqns. 3.80-3.84 by solving the differential equations using Laplace transformation and numerical methods has been clearly and comprehensively presented by Bard and Faulkner103. 

We can extend these results to find the Laplace transform of higher order derivatives. The key is that if we use deviation variables in the problem formulation, all the initial value terms will drop out in Eqs. (2-13) and (2-14). This is how we can get these clean-looking transfer functions later. 

We now derive the Laplace transform of functions common in control analysis.

The second form on the far right is a more concise way to say that the time delay function f(t -to) is defined such that it is zero for t < to- We can now derive the Laplace transform. 

The rectangular pulse can be generated by subtracting a step function with dead time T from a step function. We can derive the Laplace transform using the formal definition... 

Consider the definition of the Laplace transform of a derivative. If we take the limit as 5 approaches zero, we find... 

Since we rely on a look-up table to do reverse Laplace transform, we need the skill to reduce a complex function down to simpler parts that match our table. In theory, we should be able to "break up" a ratio of two polynomials in 5 into simpler partial fractions. If the polynomial in the denominator, p(s), is of an order higher than the numerator, q(s), we can derive 1... 

Example 2.16. Derive the closed-loop transfer function X,/U for the block diagram in Fig. E2.16a. We will see this one again in Chapter 4 on state space models. With the integrator 1/s, X2 is the Laplace transform of the time derivative of x,(t), and X3 is the second order derivative of x,(t). 

We now derive the time-domain solutions of first and second order differential equations. It is not that we want to do the inverse transform, but comparing the time-domain solution with its Laplace transform helps our learning process. What we hope to establish is a better feel between pole positions and dynamic characteristics. We also want to see how different parameters affect the time-domain solution. The results are useful in control analysis and in measuring model parameters. At the end of the chapter, dead time, reduced order model, and the effect of zeros will be discussed. 

We have shown how the state transition matrix can be derived in a relatively simple problem in Example 4.7. For complex problems, there are numerical techniques that we can use to compute (t), or even the Laplace transform (s), but which of course, we shall skip. 

Consider the stirred-tank heater again, this time in a closed-loop (Fig. 5.4). The tank temperature can be affected by variables such as the inlet and jacket temperatures and inlet flow rate. Back in Chapter 2, we derived the transfer functions for the inlet and jacket temperatures. In Laplace transform, the change in temperature is given in Eq. (2-49b) on page 2-25 as... 

The next order of business is to derive the closed-loop transfer functions. For better readability, we ll write the Laplace transforms without the 5 dependence explicitly. Around the summing point, we observe that... 

It should be evident that the expressions for the Laplace transforms of derivatives of functions can facilitate the solution of differential equations. A trivial example is that of the classical harmonic oscillator. Its equation of motion is given by Eq. (5-33), namely,...

A special situation arises in the limit of small scavenger concentration. Mozumder (1971) collected evidence from diverse experiments, ranging from thermal to photochemical to radiation-chemical, to show that in all these cases the scavenging probability varied as cs1/2 in the limit of small scavenger concentration. Thus, importantly, the square root law has nothing to do with the specificity of the reaction, but is a general property of diffusion-dominated reaction. For the case of an isolated e-ion pair, comparing the t—°° limit of Eq. (7.28) followed by Laplace transformation with the cs 0 limit of the WAS Eq. (7.26), Mozumder derived... 

Denoting the Laplace transforms of n(r, t) and I(r, t) respectively by n and I, where n is the electron density and I is the outward electron current as seen from the positive ion, the authors derive the following equations ... 

Before finding the Laplace-transformed probability density wj(s, zo) of FPT for the potential, depicted in Fig. A 1(b), let us obtain the Laplace-transformed probability density wx s, zo) of transition time for the system whose potential is depicted in Fig. Al(c). This potential is transformed from the original profile [Fig. Al(a)] by the vertical shift of the right-hand part of the profile by step p which is arbitrary in value and sign. So far as in this case the derivative dpoints except z = 0, we can use again linear-independent solutions U(z) and V(z), and the potential jump that equals p at the point z = 0 may be taken into account by the new joint condition at z = 0. The probability current at this point is continuous as before, but the probability density W(z, t) has now the step, so the second condition of (9.4) is the same, but instead of the first one we should write Y (0) + v1 (0) = YiiOje f1. It gives new values of arbitrary constants C and C2 and a new value of the probability current at the point z = 0. Now the Laplace transformation of the probability current is... 

An interesting approach has been employed in paper [74] to find the distribution f(li, l2) of copolymer chains for numbers l and h of monomeric units Mi and M2. This distribution is evidently equivalent to the SCD, because the pair of numbers k and I2 unambiguously characterizes chemical size (l = h + l2) and composition ( 1 = l] //, 2 = h/l) of a macromolecule. The essence of this approach consists of invoking the Superposition Principle [81] that enables the problem of finding the Laplace transform G(pi,p2) of distribution f(li,k) to be reduced to the solution of two subsidiary problems. The first implies the derivation of the expression for the generating function [/(z1",z 2n ZjX,z ) of distribution P(ti, M2 mt, m2), and the second is concerned with finding the Laplace transforms g (pi,p2) and (pi,p2) of distributions (Eq. 91). With these two problems solved, it is possible to obtain the characteristic function G(pi,p2) of distribution f(li,h) using the Superposition Principle formula... 

Inputs + Sources = Outputs + Sinks + Accumulation Formulation of differential equations in general is described in Chapter 1. Usually the ODE is of the first or second order and is readily solvable directly or by aid of the Laplace Transform. For example, for the special case of initial equilibrium or dead state (All derivatives zero at time zero), the preceding equation has the transform... 

Differential equations and solutions for some response functions will be stated for the elementary models with the main kinds of inputs. Since the DEs are linear, solutions by Laplace Transform are feasible. Details are to be provided by the solved problems which include derivations and applications,... 

For a model with a known transfer function the several moments can be obtained directly without need for inversion of the transform. This a consequence of a property of the derivative of the Laplace transform, namely certain limits as s= 0 ... 

This problem requires specific techniques not developed in this chapter, such as Laplace transforms, and the reader interested in the derivation of the solution may refer to the textbook of Crank (1976). Defining a as the final distribution ratio, i.e., the amount of solute contained in the solid divided by the amount contained in the liquid when t- co... 

The basic principles are taken from Zwillinger (1989). Duhamel s principle enables solutions for surface conditions being functions of time to be calculated from solutions with permanent surface conditions. Although this principle is most easily derived through the use of Laplace transforms, more conventional demonstrations, not repeated here, can be found in Sneddon (1957) or Carslaw and Jaeger (1959). 

Static experiments approach the situation described in Figure 2b. The appropriate boundary conditions are set and Laplace transformation performed by Bird et al. (16). Differentiation of their equations, evaluation at x = 0, and substitution in Fick s first law will provide the mass transfer rate at the interface. Diffu-sivities in the matrix and in water can also be derived. 

The presence of the h(z, P) factor makes Eq. (7.44) different from a Laplace transform of C(z). If the z dependence of h(z, P) is ignored,(34 36) then calculated concentrations of fluorophore near an interface derived from collected fluorescence are approximations. Also, the P dependence in the tf1,11 causes the integral in Eq. (7.44) to differ from the form of a Laplace transform even after the excitation term is factored out. 

For a rising transient, this equation has been solved using Laplace transformation and appropriate initial and boundary conditions, and Fig. 26 illustrates the expected rising transient so derived.
