DESCRIPTION:

The setup studies behaviour of single tank system. It consists of supply tank, pump for water circulation, Rotameter for flow measurement, one process tanks with scale. The components are assembled on frame to form tabletop models. The present set-up has a facility to interface the system with computer which enables to log the experimental data using computer. The educational software and data-logging package has been developed for unit. The software environment base is of Lab view of NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS, USA. This software is compatible to interfacing unit designed by “Lab smith”. This software package provides a comprehensive educational software environment within which the investigations can be performed. This software is capable to tabulate the sample readings according to the requirement of experiment under study and results obtained can be compared. The real time data acquisition can be done by interfacing the set-up with computer using software. Software allows the user to have control on data logging, printing the stored data, preparing spread sheets in Excel etc.

EXPERIMENTATION:

• To obtain the step response of a single tank liquid level system to a step change in input flow and compare it with the theoretical response.
• To determine the time constant of the system from the step response curve and compare it with the theoretical value.

UTILITIES REQUIRED:

• Water supply
• Floor Drain
• Electrical supply : 1 phase, 220VAC, 0.5kw
• Stop watch
• Table for set-up support.
• Computer System : Pentium IV with DVD Drive, Windows XP, MS-Office XP version pre-loaded.
• One USB slot required in PC for DATA ACQUISITION CARD.
