Development of Virtual Equipment for a Hydraulic Mechanics Experiment The Development of Virtual Venturi Tube Experiment
Laboratory class is very important in the education of hydraulic mechanics. However, it usually requires a high expenditure on equipment purchase and maintenance. This rearch had developed a virtual Venturi tube experiment. The research process were designed as Fig xx.Then in the next research.The Venturi Tube Experiment is used as a complete case study. It provided a systemized procedure for the developing of virtual equipment, which include five steps: (1) defining the experiment procedure; (2) building a 3D virtual reality model; (3) adding procedure controllers; (4) adding physics rules to the virtual world; (5) adding 3D manipulation functions. An evaluation was designed to acquire the effectiveness of the virtual experiment in preparing students for the real-world version. The achievements of this research include redesigning a procedural-based experiment. The results offered strong confirmation of the usefulness of the virtual hydraulic equipment. The virtual equipment led the users by interaction and immersion, thereby saving valuable space and time in the laboratory. Meantime, a virtual lab accessible from the Internet allows easy networking for students. Therefore, virtual hydraulic equipment can also be used as building blocks for a highly interactive and immersive Web-based virtual lab for hydraulic experiments. The development of virtual equipment upgrades the quality of teaching and can become a prominent new frontier in the field of engineering education.
