Desarrollo de software para las prácticas virtuales del laboratorio de Sensores y Transductores : Implementación de dos prácticas virtuales para el laboratorio de Sensores y Transductores relacionadas con la variable flujo mediante software interactivo.

Abstract

This dissertation shows the development and design of two virtual practices corresponding to the subject of Sensors and Transducers, with respect to the flow variable. The sensors are the turbine type flow sensor, and the rotameter type respectively. The first worktable contains two tanks connected by pipe where the turbine type sensor is placed, through a pump the liquid circulates from one tank to the other and a valve controls the flow value which is seen in the square signal shown on the oscilloscope. The second worktable contains a module, by activating it will cause the liquid in a container to exit through a pipe, passing through the turbine and rotameter type flow sensor, observing how the flow varies with the help of a valve. 3D modeling of the sensors and other elements needed will be carry out and developed at Autodesk Inventor and Blender. In order to have a visualization of each worktable through an interface and that the student can perform the interaction with each of them in the simplest way possible, the Unity 3D graphic development engine was used, as it is compatible with Blender and Autodesk Inventor, which by programming and linking with other elements, allow the animation of the operation of each of the sensors.
