Abstract:
In this paper, a dynamic model of a slurry mixing and pumping process is proposed. The centrifugal pump is modeled based on the hydraulic application, the hydraulic part and the induction motor models, taking into account the pumped slurry density. This paper also proposes a new approach to estimate the parameters of the pump’s hydraulic part model based on the pump characteristic curves. Additionally, a dynamic simulation of the system is realized under MATLAB/Simulink environment and the variation effect of the process inputs on the outputs is studied.
