A Storage tank contains a liquid which is pumped by a centrifugal pump at as steady rate. Liquid enters the tank at volumetric flow rate 200 Liter/hr and liquid level reaches steady-state value of 40 cm. If input flow rate is suddenly increased to 300 Liter/hr, Find level response and liquid level after 1 minutes by deriving transfer function and step response. (Cross section area of tank: 15 cm x 15 cm)
