Modern industries like chemical, involves so many processes require regulating the flow of liquid and usually the parameter of concern is the pressure. In these applications, it is very desirable to have a means to balance the pressure of two different feeds of fluid which are to be mixed. There are some reaction in which we cannot mix two chemicals at a time because if we mix at a time the explosion occurs. So there is need to supply chemicals one by one. There are many valves available in market to control the supply of fluid, however the intent of this design project is have a total mechanical system, which has an in built response mechanism. More than flow regulation the requirement is to design a valve which automatically switches from one opening to another based on the pressure levels. The idea behind this project is to introduce regulation of flow of liquid. This will require a complex construction and immaculate calculation of how the stiffness's behave and how they need to be balanced to create a precise timing. In this paper finite element analysis has been introduced in order to finalize the geometrical parameter of Balanced Stiffness valve. However key constraints in designing the valve are geometrical parameters as well as operating parameters. These parameters are analyzed by FEA.
