A Graphical Simulation of Vapor-Liquid Equilibrium for Use as an Undergraduate Laboratory Experiment and to Demonstrate the Concept of Mathematical Modeling.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Whitman, David L.; Terry, Ronald E. – CoED, 1985
Demonstrating petroleum engineering concepts in undergraduate laboratories often requires expensive and time-consuming experiments. To eliminate these problems, a graphical simulation technique was developed for junior-level laboratories which illustrate vapor-liquid equilibrium and the use of mathematical modeling. A description of this…

Authoring Systems for Laboratory Experiment Simulators.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Shacham, Mordechai; Cutlip, Michael B. – Computers and Education, 1988
Discussion of laboratory experiment simulation in science and engineering education focuses on the need for authoring systems that can be used to create simulations. An editor for a simulator model containing variables and mathematical equations is presented, and screen displays and data analysis are discussed. (LRW)
