Modeling of a Temperature Controller using Heat Exchangers

Abstract

Thermoregulators are devices or applications which control temperatures. Examples of such devices are air conditioners for the everyday use of people, or heat exchangers for use in industrial purposes like chemical power plants. These kinds of devices most of the time, if not all, require a feedback system for precise and accurate observation and monitoring of data and in turn maintain or manipulate the temperature to a more favorable value to lessen or mitigate damages and prevent such possible disasters. The paper aims to simulate a feedback-controlled heat exchanger system to lessen the errors done upon the physical execution. A program called MATLAB is required to show computations and calculations of possible outcomes with the user's inputs as a simulation with ideally precise outcomes. A program for calculation runs through MATLAB while the simulation is shown for monitoring and observing on SIMULINK.
