The PLC program simulates a process tank being filled with a fluid. The tank will start filling (via a valve) whenever the start process button is enabled and the tank is below 50% full. It will shut off when the tank is 100% full. In case the level sensor is out of calibration or not working properly, there is a high-level safety limit to prevent the tank from overfilling. If the high limit is met at a preset value of 102% full the process will shut down and a strobe light will turn on. Indicator lights are activated when the tank level reaches 50%, 75% and 100% full as shown in the diagram of the tank in Figure 1. There is a slight dead band to prevent flickering lights when tank levels vary slightly due to filling or splashing.

A large tank with total capacity of 400 gallons is filled with 300 gallons of fluid in which 50 lbs. of salt is dissolved. Brine containing 2 pounds of salt per gallon is pumped into the tank at a rate of 3 gal/min. The well mixed solution is pumped out at a slower rate of 2 gal/min. a. Find the number A(t) of pounds of salt in the tank at time t. b. When will the tank overflow?

- A cylindrical tank is being filled simultaneously with water and sugar. The input of water and sugar is carefully adjusted so that the concentration of sugar in the water is held constant at 5 grams per cubic meter. The tank has a radius of 5 meters and a height of 10 meters. At a particular point in time, the water level is 3 meters high and rising at a rate of .5 meters per second. At this time, how...

C++ Create a program that simulates a coin being flipped. Ask the user to guess between heads and tails. Let the user input 0 for heads and 1 for tails. Use a random generator to get random guesses every time. If the user guesses correctly, give them 1pt. Use a counter and initialize it to 0.   If the user does not guess correctly, subtract a point. Create a menu that allows the user to continue guessing, view the current score...

A closed, rigid tank is filled with water. Initially, the tank holds 0.6 lb of saturated vapor and 6.0 lb of saturated liquid, each at 212°F. The water is heated until the tank contains only saturated vapor. Kinetic and potential energy effects can be ignored. Determine the volume of the tank, in ft3, the temperature at the final state, in °F, and the heat transfer, in Btu.

Java Coding Background You will create a Java class that simulates a water holding tank. The holding tank can hold volumes of water (measured in gallons) that range from 0 (empty) up to a maximum. If more than the maximum capacity is added to the holding tank, an overflow valve causes the excess to be dumped into the sewer system. Assignment The class will be named HoldingTank. The class attributes will consist of two int fields – current and maxCapacity....
