Control systems can be found in different practical application such as biological systems, robotic systems, space applications, home appliances and so many more. The thesis has been carried out to analyze the fundamental theory of control systems and its main elements including the common classification of control systems and to discuss the various kinds of control mode that are used to make a system behave in a manner desired and support the discussion with practical examples. A heat energy close-loop control system was designed and built using the concept of control system theory to assist in the selection of the best control mode to conduct an experiment that will help achieve a desired setpoint of heat transfer from hot water to the cold water. A control system was built to help measure and regulate the flow of hot and cold water and temperature of both waters. After that, the data collected from the experiment was used to draw a graph on how much heat energy generated between the cold and hot water. Finally, the coefficient of heat energy transfer between cold and hot water was found.
