This thesis project concerns the creation of a simulation model for the hydraulic system of a commercial dishwasher machine. A 1D model was created using the Simscape physical network modeling tool integrated into the widely used MATLAB software environment. The resultant model can predict the hydraulic performance of the dishwasher for various cases of input parameters. It can also simulate certain state varying aspects of the dishwasher such as its flow controller which opens and shuts off flow to different parts of the system. The model can achieve sufficiently low runtimes where it can be faster than the real-time operation of the target system. The modularity of the physical network approach allows for the quick testing of changes to the overall design of the hydraulic system, a useful attribute when it comes to investigating performance requirements. The results of this work show promise in Simscape as a modeling tool for multi-physics systems. The model developed can serve as a foundation for further development to be carried out and more aspects of the dishwasher machine, such as its heating, be added to the model so it can cover a broader range of the dishwasher’s behavior.
