Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the creation and evaluation of block diagrams for a system controlling the flow of a liquid via an electrical pump. Participants are assessing the adequacy of the provided diagram in the context of control engineering principles.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant describes a system where the flow of liquid is controlled by varying the rotary speed of an electrical motor, which is adjusted by changing the motor's voltage.
  • Another participant suggests that while the diagram is "correct on some level," it may not fully meet the requirements for a control block diagram, implying a need for more specific information related to control engineering.
  • A later reply questions the phrase "on some level," seeking clarification on its meaning in the context of the diagram's adequacy.
  • One participant notes that the diagram is informative from an engineering perspective but lacks sufficient detail for control engineering purposes.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on the adequacy of the block diagram, with some suggesting it is partially correct while others argue it does not meet the specific requirements of control engineering.

Contextual Notes

The discussion highlights potential limitations in the diagram's detail and its alignment with control engineering standards, but does not resolve these issues.

In the drawing is described a system to the control flow of a liquid. The control is done by changing the rotary speed of the electrical engine that moves the pump. Changing of the speed is done by changing the voltage for the motor.BUILD A BLOCK DIAGRAM.http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/5858/blockdiagramattempt.jpg

How did I do?

In some level, it is correct. But I assume the question asks for a control block diagram. Please see http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Control_Systems/Block_Diagrams

What do you mean by "on some level"?

Well engineering wise, it is informative enough but specifically on control engineering it has not enough information.
