    The document describes an experiment to characterize the dynamic response of liquid level in a single tank system. It provides theory showing the system has first order behavior. The procedure introduces a step change in inlet flow and records the liquid level response over time. Data on level vs. time and flow vs. level are collected. Calculations determine the theoretical and experimental time constants, which are compared to validate the first order model.

    LIQUID LEVEL DYNAMIC - SINGLE TANK SYSTEM

    Aim:
    o To obtain the step response of a single tank liquid
    system to a step change in input flow and compare it
    with theoretical response.

    o To determine the time constant of the system from the


    step response above and compare it with the
    theoretical response.

    Apparatus required:
    Single tank liquid level system, measuring jar, stop watch.

    Theory:
    A single tank liquid level system is just order in nature
    .the transfer function relating deviation of liquid level in the tank
    to deviation in inlet flow rate is

    H(S)/Q(S) = R/ s+1
    Where,
    =AR is the time constant of the system for a
    step input of a magnitude P in the inlet flow to the first vessel
    Q(S) = P/S
    H(S) = PR/ S( S+1)
    Taking the inverse Laplace transform;
    H(t) = PR[ 1 – e –t/ ]
    procedure:
    Maintain the liquid level in the vessel at a steady
    state value around the lower middle part of the level gauge by
    properly adjusting the inlet and outlet now rates using value HV1
    and HV3 .At steady state condition rate down the liquid level
    and corresponding discharge the outlet valves should not be
    distributed now onwards till the experiment is completed.
    Introduce a step change in inlet now will not exceed 20% by
    opening the cook valve (HV2) provided all the bypass of the
    inlet valve simultaneously start the stop watch time until the
    level reached a new steady state value. At new steady state, rate
    the level and outlet flow rate .the difference between the final
    flow rate and the initial flow rate given magnitude of the step
    change.
    To find the resistance R.
    The flow rate is reduced from the final valve by operating the
    inlet and allow the system to come to a new steady state .At
    steady state note the level and the flow rate from the tank
    .Repeat this for different inlet flow rate. Then make a plot of
    Discharge (q) vs. level (h) of liquid .the resistance of the outlet
    valve (HV3) is the reciprocal of the slop of the tangent line
    passing through the operating flow rate.
    OBSERVATION:
    Level Deviation Experimental Theoretical
    Time(sec H(t),c H(t) response response
    ) m H / PR H/PR = (1-e-
    t/
    )

    Heat vs flow relationship to determine the resistance


    S.no Level in tank ,h (cm) Flow rate ,q (cc/sec)

    Diameter of tank = 23.8 cm


    Cross sectional area of the tank = П /4 d2
    Initial steady flow rate = cc/sec
    Final steady flow rate = cc/sec
    Magnitude of step change A, = (final steady flow rate – initial
    steady flow rate)

    = cm3/sec
    Resistance R from q VS h graph,

    R = Sec/cm2

    Theoretical time constant,Z = cross sectional area


    = sec
    Calculation:
    Time =
    Deviation=
    Experimental response =H/PR =

    Theoritical response = (1-e-t/ )

    CONCLUSION:
    The step response of a single tank liquid level
    system is obtained and it is compared with the theoretical
    response .

    Time constant of the system (theoretical ) =

    Time constant of the system (equipmental) =
