First of all, sorry for my bad english.
Although it's a fluidic system, I put this topic here because it has an electrical equivalent (ON-TOPIC).
Consider the following system.
Using Matlab (simulink), observe the unitary step response to the interval [0, 5] seconds. Obtain the graph of the height (h1 and h2) of water in both tanks. Initial conditions are zero.
qi, qo = water flow (inbound and outbound)
R1, R2 = fluidic resistance
A1, A2 = area of the tanks
I have some doubts about one thing in this system but first, my resolution.
The areas of the tanks are constants.
General conditions:
Now, considering q1 as the water flow through R1:
Then, using Laplace transform:
Simplifying,
Now, I can get the following block diagram. (considering water density=1)
colours:
Yellow - Qi(s)
Violet - H1(s)
Blue - H2(s)
Red - Qo(s)
Well, my doubt is a bit silly. I don't know where or when I can use H=1...
One thing that I know is when h2(t)<1, qo(t) should be 0 (right?) but in my diagram this isn't true.
(h2(5)=0.20 and qo(5)=1 approximately)
well, any help? how to solve this?
