Віртуальне Фізичне Моделювання Автоматзованої Системи Контролю Параметрів Якості Нафтопродуктів

Introduction. This article is devoted to the development and exploration of a virtual physical model of an automated system for monitoring the density and dynamic viscosity of oil products. Materials and Methods. A combination of the Vftlab (Virtual Fluid/Flow Technology Laboratory) concept and tools from the specialized Simscape library on the MATLAB platform. Results. A virtual physical model of an automated system for monitoring the density and dynamic viscosity of oil products was developed in the Matlab/Simulink/Simscape environment using the Isothermal Liquid (IL) domain and a bridge-type throttle transducer. A control system was synthesized, and all system elements were parameterized. The dependencies of diesel fuel density and dynamic viscosity on temperature were explored. Conclusions. The proposed model enables the analysis of various methods for measuring oil product parameters; it is easily scalable and suitable for further research into algorithms for the automatic control of oil product viscosity and density.
