Static vs. Dynamic • Static means that the system doesn’t change with time • Dynamic means that the system is changing with time
Mathematics of Bacterial Growth The equation is derived from the concept of Conservation of Mass The change in the number of bacteria at any time Is proportional to the number of bacteria present at any time (Don’t confuse with K the sensitivity) Proportionality Constant
Why are 1st order equations important for instrumentation • Many instruments exhibit a 1st order response • Provides a parameter, called the time constant, for choosing an instrument. This parameter lets you know if the instrument will respond quick enough to capture changes in the system.
Time Constant • The parameter for characterizing the response time of an instrument is the Time Constant, t
Time Constant • The Time Constant is the time it takes a first order system to reach 63.3% (0.633) of its final value in response to a step change in the system 1.0 0.633 Output t Time
