             F1aURI 5-8  Step response of third-order process-three-tank system with
             backftow.
             given in Fig. 5-7. Note that, unlike the case with no backflow, the three
             amplitude curves do not converge to a common asymptote as the fre-
             quency decreases because, as we mentioned in question 5-2, the steady-
             state levels are not the same.
