摘要
随着信息技术的发展,虚拟技术已成为化学工程教育工作者的可行选择。尽管传统的教学方法依然有效,但在呈现复杂现象时有许多局限性。增强现实(AR)等虚拟技术作为传统教学方法的补充,已经显示出巨大的潜力。本研究探讨了 AR 技术在化学工程教育中的实用性和潜在应用。在这项工作中,传统的二维 CFD 模拟结果被 AR 体验所取代,使流动模式可视化,并帮助理解不同设备背后的工作机制。除了集成 CFD 结果外,AR 体验还包括动画,以实现个性化培训和包容性实验室工作体验。AR 辅助培训在减少因处理不当造成的经济损失和设备停机方面显示出良好的潜力。除了提供教学内容外,还利用带有 AR 界面的数字双胞胎的开发过程来展示虚拟技术如何参与工业 4.0 的数字化。除技术内容外,课程还讲授了重要的设计理念。
Applications of augmented reality (AR) in chemical engineering education: Virtual laboratory work demonstration to digital twin development
With advances in information technologies, virtual technologies have become a viable option for chemical engineering educators. Although traditional teaching methods remain effective, they have many limitations when presenting complex phenomena. Virtual technologies like Augmented Reality (AR) have shown great potential as an addition to traditional teaching methods. This study explored the practicality and potential applications of AR technologies in chemical engineering education. In this work, traditional 2D representations of CFD simulation results were replaced by AR experiences to visualise the flow pattern and assist the understanding of the working mechanism behind different devices. Other than CFD result integration, animations were also included in AR experiences for personalised training and inclusive laboratory work experience. AR-assisted training has shown good potential in reducing financial loss and equipment downtime due to improper handling. Besides delivering teaching content, the development process of a digital twin with an AR interface was used to demonstrate how virtual technologies can be involved in digitalisation in Industry 4.0. Beyond the technical contents, important design philosophies were also taught as part of the courses.
