Automated Calculation And Design Flow

Currently, there are growing a wide variety of program environments, which are used in today's learning professionals. Basic requirements for such programs can be formulated as follows: firstly the accessibility and visibility, ease of understanding of the user interface, and secondly, the use of new and innovative methods in developing such programs, tools and algorithms, and thirdly, the comprehensive utilization habitual and familiar student software. These programs help students to understand the studied subject and practical skills. Let us dwell on the program for calculating flow variable differential pressure. This program has several disadvantages: its industrial purpose makes the process of calculating flow rather complicated due to the congestion by additional parameters, conditions and constants, the set Results hides the basic calculated values and does not show any graphic illustration. It is easy to see that the bare figures and formula at first glance, little understood and little interest to the student. Our task is not just get a mathematically correct result of calculation, but also to explain the essence of the method the student, the value of all the quantities in formulas, justify their use, specify their sources and, most importantly, to give the result in the most understandable and accessible to the student form.

In order to adapt the laboratory work for the learning process the authors developed a new program that aims to improve understanding of laboratory work, improve its accessibility and visibility. Convenient dialogue and student programs, affordable multimedia information windows, allows the student to engage in the process of calculating and designing a device called - flowmeters and, consequently, increases the understanding of the issue in the calculations as a whole.
