Evaluation of a liquid level model of separator in an OTEC experimental plant using Uehara cycle via different experimental data

This research is concerned with the evaluation of a liquid level model of separator in an ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) plant using Uehara cycle. The liquid level model is described by the polynomial of valve opening and white Gaussian process. The mean and the variance of white Gaussian process are determined by two kinds of experimental data. The behavior of the liquid level model is evaluated by numerical simulations based on two kinds of experimental data. The simulation results indicate that the model construction of liquid level can ben successfully conducted even if the experimental data to be used are different.
