    Define PID parameters in Simulink

    Can anyone tell me how I can define my P I and D parameters in Simulink. If I change my parameters of my PID-regulator, my proces value graph changes very much with each change of PID values. I tried to use Ziegler Nichols but it gives very bad results. I need to know a method how I can...

    Linear actuator

    Hello, I have a question. How can I simulate a linear actuator? This actuator gets a signal between 4...20 mA and it takes 6sec to open the actuator complete. So for example, if I have a signal of 12 mA and i go to 20 mA it should take 3sec to go to that value. How can I build such a model...

    Flow caracteristic

    hello, I have a guestion. Different producents of valves give the flow caracteristics for Kv values. I need to kwow if these caracteristics stay the same if i use air as medium. Example: if i have a linear flow caracteristic for %opening of valve versus %Kv, does the caracteristic stays linear...

    Simulating a control valve

    Hello, I need to simulate the working of a control valve (all kinds of valves) and then I need to analyse the results of the different types of valves to choose the perfect one for my application. So I thought to simulate a constant flow, then the caracteristic of the control valve, and at the...

    flow trough a centrifugal compressor

    The volume at the inlet of the compressor remains constant, but the mass increases because of the increase of density. Now I want to know the relation that the flow through the compressor becomes greater because of an increase of density. The reason is because the compressor compresses the...

    flow trough a centrifugal compressor

    Hello, I'm looking for an equation which shows a relation between the fact that when the density of air becomes larger the flow through a centrifugal compressor increases For example: the flow increases with a factor 1.15 from 35°C to 5°C. This is with constant pressure of the compressor...

    How to choose the best type of valve

    Hello, The flowrate is 7000 m3/hr and the inlet pressure is 7 bar I hope this is helpful. And yes, I work with an air system

    How to choose the best type of valve

    Hey, I have a question to anyone who can answer me. I need to choose a valvetype which fits the most in my application and why. I have a compressor who delivers a constant flow. On the other side I have clients who use a variable flow but NEED a constant pressure. I need to place a valve in a...

    Kv value

    Hello, can anyone tell me the Kv equation for air. All the equations are for water and I would like to calculate it for air. And in the equation the term DeltaP (pressure drop) what does it stand for. Is it a property of the valve itself and how can I find the term??? Thanks a lot
