• In this equation, the required input is the Process Variable as a function of time. So,
What is the 𝑃𝑉(𝑡) in the water mixing tank problem? On the other hand, the output
signal is called 𝑐(𝑡). This signal is the one that will feed the controller.
• Since any ODE need an initial condition to be solved entirely, what is the value of the
initial condition required to solve the sensor-transmitter ODE?
After answering the stated questions, you are able to fully implement the model!

Simulink implementation: Control Valve Modeling
The first step in this activity is to remember the Control Valve ODE studied.
Nonetheless, you may be familiar with the transfer function (TF) of the control valve
instead: 𝐹(𝑠) 𝐾𝑣
=
𝐻(𝑠) 𝜏𝑣 𝑆 + 1
But remember, the transfer function is expressed in the Laplace domain, while the thermal
process and sensor-transmitter equations are not. They are a representation of the process
and the instrumentation in the temporal domain. So, you may want to “translate” the TF
into an ODE. How do you “return” from the Laplace to the temporal domain?...Try it.
