Open and Closed Loop Systems


Conclusion
1. Describe an open loop system that has not already been given as an example. Could the system benefit from feedback? Justify your answer.
- When using the reheat function on a microwave, the sensors require input from the temperature of the food to determine whether or not the food is heated to an appropriate temperature or the loop needs to be continued until the desired range is reached.

2. Describe a closed loop system that have not already been given as an example. Describe the feedback utilized, and describe why that type of feedback is utilized.
- An AC system would be triggered by the feedback it gets from the environment. If the temperature is too warm, the system will engage and the AC will turn on while the system loops over and over again, acquiring readings from the thermostats. Once the desired temperature is reached, the system will disengage.
