Single Tank System Apparatus

Description
The setup is for study of behavior of single tank system. It consists of supply tank, pump for water circulation, Rotameter for flow measurement, and one process tanks with scale. The components are assembled on frame & base plate.
Experimentation/Learning Objectives:
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 calculate valve resistance.
To determine the time constant of the system from the step response curve and compare it with the theoretical value
Utilities Required
Electric supply: Single Phase, 220 V AC, 5-15 amp combined socket with earth connection. Earth voltage should be less than 5 volts.
