What is the difference between matched and unmatched uncertainties?

AI Thread Summary
Matched uncertainties refer to errors that are consistent and proportional across different measurements or system components, allowing for predictable behavior in control systems. In contrast, unmatched uncertainties involve errors that vary independently, making them less predictable and more challenging to manage. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for designing effective control strategies. The discussion emphasizes the importance of recognizing how these uncertainties affect system performance. Clear definitions and examples can enhance comprehension for those new to control theory.

I'm beginning to study control theory, and I keep reading about matched and unmatched uncertainties in the literature, but I have yet to find the definitions of matched and unmatched. Could someone explain it to me? Thanks.

The difference is the equivalency and consistency of the errors in "matched uncertainties".

Can anyone elaborate on this? I'd like an explanation in layman's terms.
 

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
