The flow between Tank1 and Tank2 is desired. The flow between Tank2 and Tank3 is
undesired unavoidable leakage.At the expected steady state of this system:- Tank1 and Tank2 have the same pressure.
- Tank2 and Tank3 have an almost constant pressure difference of 1 that compensates a
load.
Due to the weak connectivity between Tank1 and Tank2, it is difficult to trim the model
such that the pressures in Tank1 and Tank2 are equal.1 Steady-State Operating Points
