Temperature Control System Model

I'm trying to design a model for a temperature control system for a furnace (process of carbon activation), but I'm stuck on how to represent it. Will it be through mathematical function such as transfer functions or build a model in Simscape?

Hi @Roniel Payoyo

From Gao & Li (2012), the furnace temperature system can be approximated by a First-Order Plus Dead Time (FOPDT) model:

.

If you are using the Simulink for modeling, then the Transport Delay block can be used to simulate a time delay θ.
