Desenvolvimento de aplicativo para dimensionamento de equipamentos de filtração da indústria química

Abstract

The actual society lives in constant search for new tools and technologies which can boost not only scientific research but also entrepreneurship and new careers. Those innovations are applied on our daily basis to facilitate and streamline our activities, shows itself as essential for a great variety of contexts, like on classroom restructure with its new learning methods or providing timely answers to professionals for making decisions based on simulations. History has showed that learning methods’ evolution and adaptation are made gradually. However, disruptive moments could bring us higher attention and urgency to new perspective and determined solutions. The app proposed in this work, called ADSI-F (Industrial Scaling-up and Simulation App – Filtration Equipment’s Module) is an auxiliar tool on Chemical Engineering’s filtration equipment’s project. Destined for both academical and professional purposes, the app offers an intuitive layout, which facilitate users’ manipulation, besides of adjusting the simulation’s processing according to the type of user profile (either more informative or objective, respectively). It was decided its application into the filtration area because it is one of the Unit Operations at Chemical Engineering (essential area inside Industry and material processing). The literature revision had indicated not only issues related to students’ evasion because of this discipline, but also that a good solution would be scholar curriculum adequacy with the use of ICTs to facilitate content comprehension.
