Dear Editor and Reviewers:
Thank you so much for considering our paper for publication in your prestigious journal. The authors
would like to thank again the reviewers for their time, careful reading of our paper as well as their
helpful suggestions, constructive comments and insightful remarks that contributed to the improvement
of the paper’s content. A detailed reply to the reviewers’ comments immediately follows.
REPLY TO THE REVIEWERS’ COMMENTS:
Reviewer #3: After revision the work is accepted. It is a good work and it is better if it improves the
quality of figure 2, 4 (describing figure elements), 5 and 6.
Reviewer #4: This work is interesting as it deals with finding out the unknown parameter for a coupled
tank process. Any real time process will not have all the parameters to be known or sometimes there
can be situations were it cannot be measured. Due to various factors the process parameters can also be
altered due to load disturbances. Hence this method may prove fruitful for automation of industrial
process. This work is substantiated with graphical interpretations
Our response: Thank you for this helpful comment.
Fig. 2 is changed to improve the quality.
Fig. 4 is changed to improve the quality.
Thank you very much for all the positive and helpful comments. We hope that you will consider our
work in its revised form suitable for publication in your respected journal.
On behalf of all the authors,
Yours truly,
Kil To Chong
