Consider a process with transfer function: \[ G_p = \frac{2e^{-s}}{(5s + 1)^2} \] A first-order plus dead time (FOPDT) model is to be fitted to the unit step process reaction curve (PRC) by applying the maximum slope method. Let \( \tau_m \) and \( \theta_m \) denote the time constant and dead time, respectively, of the fitted FOPDT model. The value of \( \frac{\tau_m}{\theta_m} \) is __________ (rounded off to 2 decimal places).
Given: For \( G = \frac{1}{(\tau s + 1)^2} \), the unit step output response is: \[ y(t) = 1 - \left(1 + \frac{t}{\tau}\right)e^{-t/\tau} \] The first and second derivatives of \( y(t) \) are: \[ \frac{dy(t)}{dt} = \frac{t}{\tau^2} e^{-t/\tau} \] \[ \frac{d^2y(t)}{dt^2} = \frac{1}{\tau^2} \left(1 - \frac{t}{\tau}\right) e^{-t/\tau} \]- GATE CH - 2025

- Rohit goes to a restaurant for lunch at about 1 PM. When he enters the restaurant, he notices that the hour and minute hands on the wall clock are exactly coinciding. After about an hour, when he leaves the restaurant, he notices that the clock hands are again exactly coinciding. How much time (in minutes) did Rohit spend at the restaurant?
Methanol is produced by the reversible, gas-phase hydrogenation of carbon monoxide: \[ {CO} + 2{H}_2 \rightleftharpoons {CH}_3{OH} \] CO and H$_2$ are charged to a reactor, and the reaction proceeds to equilibrium at 453 K and 2 atm. The reaction equilibrium constant, which depends only on the temperature, is 1.68 at the reaction conditions. The mole fraction of H$_2$ in the product is 0.4. Assuming ideal gas behavior, the mole fraction of methanol in the product is ____________ (rounded off to 2 decimal places).
