Low production cost virtual modelling and control laboratories for chemical engineering students

Abstract

This paper gives a brief review of work on virtual and remote laboratories along with a critique of their strengths and weaknesses. This is used as a motivation for a proposed method for producing virtual laboratories which, while relatively crude in comparison with professional alternatives, are much cheaper and faster to produce and thus can be created using the skill set and time of normal academics. Some examples and the coding processes are demonstrated.
