摘要:Precise control of the flow rate of fluids stored in multiple tank systems is an important task in process industries. On this reason coupled tanks are considered popular paradigms in studies because they form strongly nonlinear systems that challenges the controller designers to develop various approaches. In this paper the application of a novel, Fixed Point Iteration (FPI)-based technique is reported to control the fluid level in a “lower tank” that is fed by the egress of an “upper” one. The control signal is the ingress rate at the upper tank. Numerical simulation results obtained by the use of simple sequential Julia code with Euler integration are presented to illustrate the efficiency of this approach.
