Module 2: Modeling Considerations Lecture 2: Example of Modeling of A Stirred Tank Heater

The document discusses modeling a stirred tank heater system. It provides numerical values for the model parameters and variables. The model equations are solved to find the initial steady state values of the state variables. It is then analyzed what would happen if the inlet temperature increased from 29 to 30 degrees. The new steady state values are calculated, showing the temperature would increase to 31 degrees while the liquid height remains unchanged. A graph shows the transient response of the liquid temperature over time to reach the new steady state value of 31 degrees in 70 seconds.

Module 2 : Modeling Considerations Lecture 2 : Example of Modeling of a Stirred Tank Heater

In order to solve the model equation one needs to specify the model parameters and satisfy the degree of freedom. Let us consider the following numerical values for the said parameters and variables: . At steady state, left hand side of equations II.6 and II.7 would be zero. (II.8) (II.9)

Solution of equations II.8 and II.9 yields the steady state values of the state variables:

and

The values of h and T would stay at 1 and 30 respectively as long as there is no change in the input condition. Let us analyze what would happen if the temperature of inlet flow increases from 29 to 30. Solution of equations II.8 and II.9 with yields a new steady state condition of state variables as and

. That means a disturbance in T i would not change the height of the liquid inside the tank however it would increase the temperature of the liquid to an increased new steady state. The transition of T s from 30 to 31 can be observed (Fig II.3) by simulating the model in SIMULINKdomain.
