Give the state description matrices in modal canonical form for the transfer functions given below. Make sure that all entries in the state matrices are real valued by keeping any pairs of complex conjugate poles together, and realize them as a separate subblock in control canonical form. a. G(s)= 1/ 2s+1
b. G(s)= 6(s/3+1)/(s/ 10+1)

Amass of 1.5 kg of air at 120 kpa and 24°c is contained in a gas-tight, frictionless piston-cylinder device. the air is now compressed to a final pressure of 720 kpa. during the process, heat is transferred from the air such that the temperature inside the cylinder remains constant. calculate the boundary work input during this process.

What difference(s) did you notice using a pneumatic circuit over hydraulic circuit.explain why the pneumatic piston stumbles when it hits an obstacle.

Determine whether or not it is possible to compress air adiabatically from k to 140 kpa and 400 k. what is the entropy change during this process?
