This document describes an experiment to examine the stability of a pipe flow setup using the Nyquist procedure. It provides details on the procedure, which involves sending a sinusoidal signal into the heater of the pipe flow setup using code and measuring the heater and sensor signals on an oscilloscope. These measurements are used to construct a Nyquist or GH plot, from which the borderline proportional and integral times can be estimated and compared to values from a previous lab. The document also provides mathematical models of the pipe flow setup and code to generate an open loop GH plot.

PURPOSE: The main purpose of this lab is to examine the stability of the pipe flow setup using the Nyquist procedure.
PROCEDURE: The PIC code gh.c operates the pipe flow setup open loop. Using gh.c, send a sinusoidal signal into the heater. Display the heater and sensor signals on an oscilloscope. From the oscilloscope traces estimate the open loop magnitude ratio and phase shift for different heater frequencies. Use these data to construct a GH Plot. Use the GH Plot to estimate the borderline KP and TP. Compare these KP and TP with those obtained in the Ziegler Nichols gains lab.
