Modelling And Simulation Of Water Tank

The modelling and simulation play a very important role in the industry where it can help with the description of the system and the choice of the optimal control strategy. This contribution is focused on the modelling and simulation procedure which usually precedes the design of the controller. The mathematical model is derived with the use of material balance and produces nonlinear Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE). The static analysis provides optimal working point and the dynamic analysis gives an overview about the behavior of the system. Mentioned procedure is tested on the real model of the water tank as a part of the process control teaching system PCT40 from Armfield. Results have shown that proposed mathematical model is accurate and can be used for the design of the appropriate controller.
