Problem Description (CCOs#1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,11,12)
A water tank of radius R=1.8m with two outlet pipes of radius r1=0.05m and r2 installed at heights h1=0.13m and h2=1m, is mounted in an elevator moving up and down causing a time dependent acceleration g(t) that must be modeled as
g(t)=g0+a1cos(2f1t)+b1sin(2f1t)+a2cos(2f2t)+b2sin(2f2t),
Figure 1: Water tank inside an elevator
The height of water h(t) in the tank can be modeled by the following ODE,
dhdt=f(t)-2g(t)2(r12max(0,h-h1)2+r22max(0,h-h2)2)R2
where =1000kgm3. The volume flow rate V(t) of water out of the tank is
V(t)=2g(t)2(r12max(0,h(t)-h1)2+r22max(0,h(t)-h2)2)
To help determine the model constants in Eq.(1), measurements of the elevator position y(t) are taken every 5 s starting at t=0s until 2000s. The measured position data is available on Canvas in the Matlab file ydat . mat. The mass flow rate f(t) in kgs into the tank is measured every 10 s starting at 0 s and ending at 2500 s and is available on Canvas in the Matlab file fdat. mat. At t=0s, the height of water in the tank is
