A mathematical model of a steam generator (Fig. 3.16) has to be constructed, taking into account the following: volume of the liquid (Vl) is much larger than that of the vapors (Vv); the liquid phase is in thermodynamic equilibrium with the vapor phase, meaning: T∘l= T∘v, the vapor pressure of the liquid at T∘l, and the pressure of the vapors at T∘vare equal (Pl= pv), the flow of evaporated liquid is equal to the outflow of the vapors (Nv= Fvρv); the liquid level is a controlled function of the input flow and vapor pressure function of the heating agent flow; heat losses to the exterior are negligible. The geometric dimensions of the generator are known; all characteristics of the liquid (ρl, cpl, lv) are known; the gains of the P controllers of the two control loops are KLand KP.
