 Suggestion for new experiments by Faculty member

 Suggestion and design of open-ended labs for students by faculty member

 1. For a flow rate control system or temperature control system , specify values
of set point, controlled variable, manipulated variable, disturbance and sensitivity.
 2. Use Proportional, PI and PD and PID control mechanism to reject the effect of
the disturbance
 3. Compare results of the control mechanism and submit it in the form of a report.
