the valves do not have any effect on the value of the time constant. But the time constant could be determine by plotting the record on the excell. But again, why does the values of the time constant differ? why is one higher than the other?

Can somebody help me please?

well. the point is, the time constant of the rising water level is different than the time constant of the falling water level. but why is that so? what makes the time constant for the falling process smaller than the other?

yep, they do have different rates. but why is one higher than the other?

I'm curious: "A group of students needs to determine the time constant of a water tank. FIrst, the student establish an equilibrium level, with a known flow rate into the tank and both valves (solenoid and hand-operated) fully opened. One of the students reduces the input flow and the group...
