WaterMixApplet with Fuzzy-Control
Mixing water with Java...
1. Problem description
Goal of this applet is to bring water in a container to a destination temperature by mixing.
You have a big Water-Container with a starting volume and a starting temperature. The applet has two smaller containers with cold and hot water (temperatures selectable). The fuzzy-logic has to decide how much hot or cold water has to be used for the next cycle by tracking the remaining amount of water in the main container and the water temperature difference from the destination temperature.
2. Fuzzy Details
The following linguistic variables were used for controlling the mixing logic:
- The difference between the current water temperature and the destination temperature.
These values can vary between -50°C and + 50°C.
The range of values is divided into 4 Fuzzy-Sets:
|

|
- The remaining water volume. These valuesvary between 0 and 10 liters.
The range of values is divided into 3 Fuzzy-Sets:
|
Fig.: Remaining water volume in liters
|
- The amount of added water. The destinction between adding cold or warm water is made by using the sign of the calculation.
Negative values cause adding of cold water, positive values cause adding of warm water.
The values vary between -1 liter to +1 liter.
The range of values is divided into 6 Futty-Sets for the evaluation.
