Watertank Simulink Model - MATLAB & Simulink

The Simulink model watertank includes a nonlinear water tank system plant and a PI controller in a single-loop feedback system. The water tank system has water enter from the top at a rate proportional to the applied pump voltage and leave through the bottom at a rate proportional to the square root of the water height, resulting in a nonlinear plant. The model contains variables such as water height and volume, parameters like tank area and flow constants, and uses the water height as the state with pump voltage as the input and water height as the output.

The Simulink model watertank includes the nonlinear Water-Tank System plant and a PI controller in a single-loop feedback system.

The Water-Tank System is shown in the following figure.

Water enters the tank from the top at a rate proportional to the voltage, V, applied to the pump. The water leaves through an opening in the tank base at a rate that is proportional to the square root of the water height, H, in the tank. The presence of the square root in the water flow rate results in a nonlinear plant.

The following table describes the variables, parameters, differential equations, states, inputs, and outputs of the Water-Tank System.
Variables H is the height of water in the tank. Vol is the volume of water in the tank. V is the voltage applied to the pump. Parameters A is the cross-sectional area of the tank. b is a constant related to the flow rate into the tank. a is a constant related to the flow rate out of the tank.
