systems science and engineering
1) a rive r system (mississippi) is an assemblage of a watershe d, tributaries, and rive r
banks that conve ys water from the continental u.s. to the gulf of mexico. a municipal
transportation system (chicago) is an assemblage of trains, buses, subways, etc. that
transports people among many city locations. a system of organization and
management (matrix) is based on a morphology and procedure, coordinating both
line and support functions. an automobile manufacturer is a combination of
factories, organizations, dealerships, etc., that delive rs automobiles and related
support services. a home is an assemblage of land, structure, utilities, furnishings,
and people that provides a supportive place to live for one or more families.
reference: section 1.1 and footnote 1 (pages 3-4).
2) the major components of a home are listed in answer 1 above . attributes include
acreage, terrain, square footage, utility capacities, styles of decorating and
furnishing, personalities, and philosophies. relationships include layout, allocation
of space to people, and approaches to living togethe r. reference: section 1.1.1 (page
3).
3) a che mica1 processing plant is composed of structural components (building, tanks,
piping), operating components (pumps, valve s, controls), and flow components
(che mical constituents, energy, information). reference: section 1.1.1 (page 4).
4) an air transportation system is composed of aircraft and numerous supporting
facilities, equipment, and personnel, each of which is a subsystem. an aircraft itself
is composed of lower–leve l subsystems (fuselage, wings, and engines) and the se
subsystems are furthe r composed of subsystems. for example, the engine is
composed of the compressor rotor, pump, pod, etc. finally, the compressor rotor is
composed of components such as the shaft and rotor blades. reference: section 1.1.2
(page 4).
5) the boundaries of a dam system can be limited to the physical dam. alternative ly,
the human-modified rive r system, which now has a lake, can be considered a part of
the dam system. the related road system, for which the dam now provides a bridge
ove r the rive r, can be included. the region’s tourism service system, for which the
dam system now provides an array of additional services, can be included. reference:
section 1.1.2 (page 5).
6) a physical system such as a watershe d has components which manifest the mselve s
in space and time, whe reas a conceptual system such as a work breakdown structure
has no physical manifestations. it is only a plan for action. reference: section 1.2.2
(pages 6-7).
7) a static system such as a highway system may be contrasted with an airline system,
which is a dynamic system. in the former, structure exists without activity whe reas
in the latter, structural components are combined with the activities of aircraft being
loaded and unloaded, aircraft in flight, and controls which gove rn the entire
operation. reference: section 1.2.3 (page 7).
, 8) a cannon is an example of a closed system. whe n a cannon is fired, a one –to–one
correspondence exists between the initial and final states. howeve r, the defense
contractor’s design and manufacturing organization that produced the cannon and
associated projectile is an open system, with a dynamic interaction of system
components. the se system components must be reconfigured and adapted to cope
with changing requirements. reference: section 1.2.4 (page 8).
9) a watershe d is a natural system made up of objects or components such as
land, ve getation, and the watercourse; attributes such as the soil type, timber
species, and the rive r width; and relationships such as the distribution of the
attributes ove r the terrain. a che mical processing plant is a human–made system
with components described in answer 3 above , attributes such as tank volume and
pipe diameter, and relationships such as the flow rates and the yield of final
product per energy unit utilized. a person with a pacemaker is a human-
modified system with components of body parts and pacemaker parts, attributes
such as body mass, diseases, attitudes, battery, controller, and electrodes, and
relationships such as implantation location, rhythm, and signal strength. reference:
section 1.1.1 (pages 3-4) and section 1.2.1 (page 6).
10) the purposes of a che mical processing plant in a market economy are to produce one
or more che mical products and possibly byproducts that can be sold at a profit while
fulfilling obligations to stakeholders and the public. measures of worth include
production cost per unit volume, product quality, flexibility of product mix, benefits
to stakeholders, and compatibility with society. reference: section 1.1 (pages 3-5).
11) during startup the state of a che mical processing plant is that pipes and ve ssels are
filled to a certain location and empty after that location; pumps for ve ssels being
filled are running and valve s are open while othe r pumps are not running and valve s
are closed. a behavior is that whe n a ve ssel is filled, the control system turns off
the pump (in a batch system) or reduces its speed (in a continuous system) and
activates the next step in the process. the process is to start up, achieve the
designated operational speed for each subsystem, continuously monitor the
production results and make needed adjustments, and eve ntually shut down and
clean out. reference: section 1.1.1 (pages 3-4).
12) a pump and the tank it fills have a relationship. the pump provides the material that
the tank needs, while the tank provides a location whe re the pump can store the
material it needs to delive r. the attributes of the pump must be engineered so that it
can reliably move the material(s) the tank needs at an adequate rate for any give n
speed of overall system operation. the attributes of the tank must be engineered so
that it can store the quantities of material the pump must delive r without corrosion
or contamination. thus the downstream components have the material the y need to
fulfill the plant’s production purpose without problems of quality or pollution.
reference: section 1.1.1 (pages 3-4).
13) in a computer system, the power supply and system board have a first-order
relationship because the system board must receive the reduced voltage produced by
the power supply in order to function, and the power supply would be useless if
the re were no system board to perform and coordinate the computer functions. the
system board has a second-order
