This paper demonstrates the application of servomechanism techniques to the solution of a problem in automatic control of industrial processes. A typical problem in this field—namely, a flow system—is analyzed by servo techniques. Predictions of system behavior by this method are correlated with the results obtained from the actual system tests.
