1. A fluid dispensing system, comprising:
a computer that determines a first amount of power, based on a temperature signal that is commensurate with a desired temperature for an admixed fluid stream and a flow rate signal that is commensurate with a desired admixed flow rate for said admixed fluid stream, and a second amount of power, based on said temperature signal that is commensurate with said desired temperature for said admixed fluid stream and said flow rate signal that is commensurate with said desired admixed flow rate for said admixed fluid stream;
a first motor coupled to said computer, such that said first amount of power is conveyed to said first motor, which in an operative state, generates power for a first amount of valve opening to dispense a first fluid stream at a first temperature;
a second motor coupled to said computer, such that said second amount of power is conveyed to said second motor, which in an operative state, generates power for a second amount of valve opening to dispense a second fluid stream at a second temperature;
a first fluid valve coupled to said first motor, such that power for said first amount of valve opening generated by said first motor is implemented at said first fluid valve, which in an operative state, dispenses said first fluid stream at said first temperature through said first amount of valve opening;
a second fluid valve coupled to said second motor, such that power for said second amount of valve opening generated by said second motor is implemented at said second fluid valve, which in an operative state, dispenses said second fluid stream at said second temperature through said second amount of valve opening; and
an admixed fluid conduit, coupled to said first fluid valve and said second fluid valve, which in an operative state, dispenses said admixed fluid stream at said desired admixed flow rate, wherein said admixed fluid stream results from admixing of said first fluid stream at said first temperature and said second fluid stream at said second temperature at said admixed fluid conduit, and wherein said desired admixed flow rate and said desired temperature for said admixed fluid stream results from admixing said first fluid stream of at said first temperature dispensed from said first amount of valve opening and said second fluid stream of at said second temperature dispensed from said second amount of valve opening.
