i'm having a hard time with the current time..i'm not visually seeing the tanks rise..what should I do? I'm pretty new to this so any help would be greatly appreciated!
PROBLEM STATEMENT: The system consists of an upper tank
full of water with two spigots that are initially closed. The spigots are mounted at the
same height on the large tank at opposite sides from one another. The spigot on the upper
tank which drains into the cylindrical tank (and appears on the left side of the upper tank
in Figure 1) has a diameter of 0.06 ft. The spigot on the upper tank which drains into the
rectangular prism tank (and appears on the right side of the upper tank in Figure 1) has a
diameter of 0.08 ft. At time t=0 s, both spigots are opened and water discharges from
each spigot at an average velocity of 4.1 ft/s. The water from the left spigot discharges
into a cylindrical tank. The water from the right spigot discharges into a rectangular
prism tank. The dimensions for each of these two tanks appear in Table A below.
Cylindrical Tank
Rectangular Prism Tank
Radius = 0.44 ft
Width(W) = 1.5 ft
Depth = 2.0 ft
Tank Height = 3.0 ft
Tank Height = 1.5 ft
this program should use a while loop to compute the water height in the cylindrical tank, rectangular prism tank, and the percent difference between the two every 10.0 s until the user-entered time is reached. Hint: use the "Current Time" wire, control(s) given to you in your skeleton VI and LabVIEW function(s) to build a stop condition for your while loop. In addition "Current Time" should be incremented by 10.0 s before being used by the next loop iteration.
Also, each time the output is displayed, the program should wait 4x102 milliseconds before displaying the output at the next time increment. This can be done by simply placing a Wait inside your while loop. The Wait can be found on the Functions Panel under Timing. Once the Wait has been placed in the loop, simply enter the time of 4x102 milliseconds, which can by done by creating a constant numeric input on the left side of the Wait. Thus, the three outputs will then appear for 4x102 milliseconds, and then the outputs at the next time increment will appear for 4x102 milliseconds, and so on, until the final time is reached. Additionally, you should be able to see the water height in both the cylindrical and rectangular prism tank graphical indicators rise accordingly at each time increment and hold for 4x102 milliseconds until the next time increment
