SINGLE TANK SYSTEM APPARATUS

Product Description

Description

The setup is for study of behavior of single tank system. Itconsists of supply tank, pump for water circulation, Rotameter for flowmeasurement, and one process tanks with scale. The components are assembled onframe & base plate.

Experimentation/Learning Objectives:

To obtain the step response of a single tank liquid levelsystem to a step change in input flow and compare it with the theoreticalresponse.

To calculate valve resistance.

To determine the time constant of the system from the stepresponse curve and compare it with the theoretical value
