🚀 How to Run

In MATLAB:

>> Tanque_Capacitancia_PROYECTO

Or:

1. Open MATLAB
2. Double-click Tanque_Capacitancia_PROYECTO.mlapp
3. Click Run

📐 System Model

Simulates coupled tank equations:

Tank 1: A₁(dh₁/dt) = Qᵢₙ - (h₁ - h₂)/R₁
Tank 2: A₂(dh₂/dt) = (h₁ - h₂)/R₁ - h₂/R₂

Where:

• h₁, h₂ = Tank levels
• A₁, A₂ = Tank areas
• R₁, R₂ = Valve resistances
• Qᵢₙ = Input flow rate

🎓 Academic Context

Developed at Tecnológico de Monterrey for control systems coursework.
