Abstract: This paper proposes the performance of proportional directional control valve. A mathematical model is derived that describes the dynamics of a valve embedded within a simple hydraulic circuit. The aim is to capture the mechanisms of instability of such valves, taking into account of bulk modulus of oil. The model is simulated using MATLAB / SIMULINK model (R2007). This report contain...

This paper describes the model identification of control valve dynamics with a time delay. An experimental set-up is used to perform both frequency response and step response measurements on the control valve. An approximate realization algorithm and a new time delay estimation method are applied on the experimental data. The results illustrate that the suggested approach provides a good time d...

In recent years, significant advances have been made in the definition of regulatory pathways that control normal and abnormal cardiac valve development. Here, we review the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the early development of valve progenitors and establishment of normal valve structure and function. Regulatory hierarchies consisting of a variety of signaling pathways, transcr...

This paper is concerned with Proportional-Integral-Plus (PIP) control of ventilation rate in mechanically ventilated agricultural buildings. In particular, it develops a unique fan and throttling valve control system for a 22m test chamber, representing a section of a livestock building or glasshouse, at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven. Here, the throttling valve is employed to restrict airf...

This paper describes an automated electric valve system designed to reduce dispersion and sample loss into a side channel when an electrokinetically mobilized concentration zone passes a T-junction in a networked microfluidic chip. One way to reduce dispersion is to control current streamlines since charged species are driven along them in the absence of electroosmotic flow. Computer simulation...

Inherent nonlinearities like, deadband, stiction and hysteresis in control valves degenerate plant performance. Valve stiction standouts as a more widely recognized reason for poor execution in control loops. Measurement of valve stiction is essential to maintain scheduling. For industrial scenarios, loss of execution due to nonlinearity in control valves is an imperative issue that should be t...

Industrial control valves often handle flows with very high pressure drops (conditions often referred to as severe service). In order to cope with such pressure drops, geometrically complex valve trims with many stages of pressure drops, are designed to prevent undesirable side effects such as cavitation etc. There are many different product designs for control valve trims produced by different...

Precise mass flow control is an essential requirement for novel, small-scale fluidic systems. However, a small-volume, low-leakage proportional control valve for minute fluid flows has not yet been designed or manufactured. A survey is therefore made of the primary design considerations of a micromachined, proportional control valve. Performance requirements are identified based on various appl...
