This paper presents the PI controller design for coupled tank as Single Input Single Output (SISO) process using Characteristic Ratio Assignment (CRA) method.CRA is an approach to directly control the transient response of linear time invariant control systems. The transient response for all pole transfer function of n order system can be controlled by introducing a set of parameters(αi) charac...

We consider a 1-D tank containing an inviscid incompressible irrotational fluid. The tank is subject to one-dimensional horizontal moves. We assume that the horizontal acceleration of the tank is small compared to the gravity constant and that the height of the fluid is small compared to the length of the tank. This motivates the use of the Saint-Venant equations [5] (also called shallow water ...

The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between monthly Dairy Herd Improvement (DHI) subclinical mastitis and new infection rate estimates and daily bulk tank somatic cell count (SCC) summarized by statistical process control tools. Dairy Herd Improvement Association test-day subclinical mastitis and new infection rate estimates along with daily or every other day bulk tank ...

In recent years researches in hybrid system dynamics and control strategies have become very prominent because most of the systems show hybrid behavior (continuous and discrete) in their dynamics. In this work authors have considered a three-tank autonomous hybrid system for the investigation. Implementation aspects of the model based control scheme and a derivative-free state estimator for thr...

This paper presents the design and modeling of State Feedback with integral controller to implement in a Non-linear Spherical Tank SISO process. By using state feedback, it controls the liquid level in the tank as desired .The aim of this paper is to compare the control performance between State feedback with integral controller with conventional ZN, Luyben Tyreus PI/PID, Controllers. The mathe...

In this paper, a dual-bridge DC/DC resonant converter with a generalized series and parallel resonant tank is analyzed. A general approach based on Fundamental Harmonic Approximation is used to find the universal steady-state solutions. The analysis results for particular resonant tank configurations are exemplified with several typical resonant tank configurations respectively. The corresponde...

Fuzzy Model Reference Learning Control (FMRLC) is an efficient technique for the control of non linear process. In this paper, a FMRLC is applied in to a non linear spherical tank system. First, the mathematical model of the spherical tank level system is derived and simulation runs are carried out by considering the FMRLC in a closed loop. A similar test runs are also carried out with Neural N...

An LPG filling station incident in Korea has been studied. The direct cause of the incident was concluded to be faulty joining of the couplings of the hoses during the butane unloading process from a tank lorry into an underground storage tank. The faulty connection of a hose to the tank lorry resulted in a massive leak of gas followed by catastrophic explosions. The leaking source was verified...
