As an automation engineer, you are asked to design a control system at a hydroelectric water dam to control the amount of water flow to the turbine of electricity generator to achieve the desired turbine rotation speed. (a) Using the information of sensors and actuators given in the Chapter 6 course lectures, suggest and describe what are the appropriate sensors and actuators to be used to achieve the desired turbine rotation speed. Include a justification about your selections of sensors and actuators for the control system. (b) Also discuss what types of input/output signals will be needed in the control system and how the system is to utilize the input/output data. g

An air-conditioning system consists of a heating section and an evaporative cooler. air enters the heating section at 10°c and 70 percent relative humidity at a rate of 30m^3/min, and it leaves the evaporative cooler at 20°c and 60 percent relatively humidity. if the air conditioning system operates at a total pressure of 98 kpa, determine (a) the temperature and relative humidity of the air when it leaves the heating section, (b) the rate of heat transfer in the heating section, and (c) the rate of water added to air in the evaporative cooler
