Integrating Commercial Process Simulators into Engineering Courses
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a didactic activity concerning the use of PI/PID tuning rules, also addressing the issue of how to achieve a knowledgeable selection of the most suited one for the particular problem at hand. The activity aims at making the students aware of the rationale of said rules, and therefore of their suitability for the dynamic (not necessarily physical) characteristics of the controlled process, and the objectives to achieve. The ultimate goal is to induce a conscious use of tuning rules, making the students approach them (also) as conceptual tools and not just recipes.

IS PROCESS SIMULATION USED EFFECTIVELY IN ChE COURSES?
Process simulators are becoming basic tools in chemical engineering programs. Senior-level design projects typically involve the use of either a commercial simulator or an academic simulator such as ASPENPLUS, ChemCAD, ChemShare, FLOWTRAN, HYSYS, and ProII w/PROVISION. Many design textbooks now include exercises specifically prepared for a particular simulator. For example, the text by Seider, ...

متن کاملA real-time recursive dynamic model for vehicle driving simulators
This paper presents the Real-Time Recursive Dynamics (RTRD) model that is developed for driving simulators. The model could be implemented in the Driving Simulator. The RTRD can also be used for off-line high-speed dynamics analysis, compared with commercial multibody dynamics codes, to speed up mechanical design process. An overview of RTRD is presented in the paper. Basic models for specific ...
متن کاملIntegrating CAE tools into computer engineering courses
The use of CAE tools in digital logic and computer circuit design is growing in importance in two separate but closely related areas: first, by allowing the design team to bring new products to market faster, and second, to provide the tools needed to cope with the complexity and density of the integrated circuits used in the products. This paper describes our experiences in integrating commerc...
متن کاملIntegrating DSLs into a Software Engineering Process: Application to Collaborative Construction of Telecom Services
The development of large and complex systems involves many people, stakeholders. Engineeringly speaking, one way to control this complexity is by designing and analyzing the system from different perspectives. For each perspective, stakeholders benefit from means, tools, languages, specific to their activity domain. A Domain Specific Language (DSL) per perspective is such a dedicated means. Whi...
