7 | Fluid Systems

By the end of this section, you should be able to

Find analogous resistances, capacitances and inductances in fluid systems
Model fluid systems using electrical analogs
- Create transfer functions for input/output flows/pressures
Use Simulink to simulate solutions to transfer functions

Electrical Analogs

For prismatic tanks

For prismatic cross-sections

negligible for “large”-diameter pipes

For circular cross-section with a laminar flow

negligible for “large”-diameter pipes
