The level and flow control in tanks are the heart of all chemical engineering system. The control of liquid level in tanks and flow between tanks is a basic problem in the process industries. Many times the liquids will be processed by chemical or mixing treatment in the tanks, but always the level of fluid in the tanks must be controlled and the flow between tanks must be regulated in presence of non-linearity, disturbance and time varying system parameters. This work introduce the approach of modelling and compute a level backstepping control strategy with pure feedback form for non-linear modelled coupled tanks system.The goal of the control algorithm is to track the desired level of liquid in second tank by using flow rate of liquid into first tank as the manipulated variable. The designed non-linear controller is capable of tracking the desired water level for all set points with high degree of accuracy, maximally fast and without significant overshoot.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
