One of many important physical properties that must be known
to understand transport phenomena in soils is pore size distribution.
Presently the pore size distributions of soils are most commonly
obtained from soil water characteristic curves. The soil water characteristic
curves are usually obtained by the pressure plate technique.

A system consisting of two d-c generators, one exiting the other,
is controlled with an EAI 690 hybrid computer in an on-line operation.
The hybrid computer works as a predictive controller with an on-off
actuating signal. A fast-time, second-order model is used to determine
the switching time, and a small...
