A food chain is typically considered an open loop system because it involves the flow of energy and nutrients from producers to consumers and decomposers, without a closed cycle. In an open system, energy and matter are exchanged with the environment, allowing for continuous input and output. In contrast, a closed loop system would recycle all components without external inputs. Therefore, a food chain represents an open loop system.

What is nyquist set?

The Nyquist stability criterion, named after Harry Nyquist, provides a simple test for stability of a closed-loop control system by examining the open-loop system's Nyquist plot. Under many circumstances, stability of the closed-loop control system may be determined directly by computing the poles of the closed-loop transfer function. In contrast, the Nyquist stability criterion allows stability to be determined without computing the closed-loop poles


How are input and feedback parts of a system are related?

They are either in closed or in open loop system


What is a closed heat pump system?

You might have heard about the open or closed loop system. If it is a closed loop system, then it is referring to the continuous piping loops that are set underground. These loops are to be filled with an anti-freeze-like liquid which is the key to transforming the floor temperature into the geothermal heat pump.


Open loop and closed loop systems?

Very generally, a closed-loop system will have some form of feedback that regulates the system behavior, whereas an open-loop system does not have this feedback. As a simple example, imagine you driving a car on a freeway: your car enters at 50 MPH and you want to be driving at 65 MPH. You know that if you depress the pedal at a certain degree for a certain amount of time, you will eventually accelerate the car to 65 MPH. In an open-loop system, you would have to make the best guess for the angle and amount of time you need to depress the pedal. In a closed-loop system, you are watching your odometer in order to see that you've actually increased your speed to 67 MPH and need to lay off the gas a bit. More importantly, if your car encounters a hill your closed-loop system will be able to recognize the fact that you require more acceleration to maintain your speed, whereas your open-loop system might slow down a lot. It should be clear from this example that closed-loop systems are in general more robust to changes in the system state that aren't considered in your model.

What is the difference between finite open loop gain and closed loop gain?

In a closed loop system the gain without the feed back loop being closed is called open loop gain!!! e.g if forward gain is "A" and feed back factor is "B" then open loop gain is "AB" and closed loop gain will be [A/(A+B)]

What is a closed loop system?

A control system that appears to be self-regulating. Closed-loop systems employ feedback and a reference of correctness (norm or set point). Deviations from the norm are detected and corrections made in order to maintain a desired state in the system. Closed loop systems provide the homeostatic mechanism of many physiological functions (see negative-feedback) and also control some movement patterns, where feedback from proprioceptors and other receptors play an important part. Compare open-loop-system.
