Trail Name :- Open Loop Dynamics for Storage Tanks

1) Objective:
Compare between the theoretical and experimental method, the two
methods should be the same.
Determine the transfer function for the process.

2) Theory:
A bench-mount trainer for teaching Process Measurement & Control
through level, flow, temperature, and pressure. The PT001 trainer
includes all the required sensors and actuators to perform the full
experiment list for teaching process control and measurement.

The curriculum covered includes teaching the principles of acquiring

different physical phenomena, On/Off Control, PID control,
Feedforward and other types of control used in the industry.

To determine the value for α in theoretical calculations we transformed
the transfer function for change in terms of α :-
