Extracted text: 4.13 A horizontal cylindrical tank shown in Fig. E4.13a is used to slow the propagation of liquid flow surges in a processing line. Figure E4.13b illustrates an end view of the tank and w, is the width of the liquid surface, which is a function of its height, both of which can vary with time. Develop a model for the height of liquid h in the tank at any time with the inlet and out- let volumetric flow rates as model inputs. Linearize the model assuming that the process initially is at steady state and that the liquid density p is constant.
