5 Design fuzzy logic controller for water purification plant. Assume the grade of water and temperature of water as the inputs and the required amount of purifier as the output. Use three descriptors for input and output variables. Derive set of rules for control the action and deffuzzification. The design should be supported by figures. Clearly indicate that if water temperature is low and grade of water is low, then amount of purifier required is large.
