    DESCRIPTION
    Engineering Education Tool
    The present invention relates to educational tools and, more particularly, to educational tools for teaching aspects of science and / or engineering.
    There are difficulties in teaching certain subjects, in which a significant part of them refers to a subject of a computational and / or conceptual theme. For example, within engineering, attention has been paid for several decades to the modeling of systems engineering and physical phenomena. Such modeling allows a detailed understanding of how a system works and how individual parameters can affect the larger system. Therefore, it is increasingly possible, and often more cost effective, to teach complete areas of a program in a completely theoretical way.
    However, the ability to see and experiment with the physical equipment in a tangible sense can be a significant aid for understanding, particularly for individuals with a kinesthetic learning tendency. In addition, the ability to see physical phenomena in action can add a deeper understanding that is not possible with pure theory. That is, by experiencing a phenomenon in action, a person can acquire a broader appreciation of many more system attributes, thereby obtaining a more intuitive perception of how the system behaves.
    There are a number of conventional classroom experiments that are aimed at demonstrating physical phenomena in a clear and concise way. However, there is a general commitment in any of these experiments between the complexity of the system and the clarity with which the relevant phenomenon can be demonstrated. That is, it is necessary to establish a balance between the level of detail that an individual can understand from an experiment and the breadth of understanding about a wide audience.
    The above considerations may apply equally to learning or academic training as well as professional. In this last example, there is the additional concern that many technical systems or many industrial plants operate through control systems. Thus, although operators may become highly trained in integration with the relevant control interfaces, they may lack some basic understanding of the system or physical phenomenon that is taking place. This can cause problems if, for example, the control system fails or also if a situation arises that is not adequately adapted to the control algorithms. There is a risk that the intervention of an operator may be required in a system for which it does not have the required level of understanding.
    It is an objective of the present invention to provide an educational tool that substantially overcomes or mitigates one or more of the problems described above. It can be considered an additional objective
    or alternative of the invention to provide an educational tool that can demonstrate various levels of complexity and / or various scientific principles within one or more physical systems.
    In accordance with the present invention an educational system is provided comprising a fluid separation vessel and a plurality of fluid reservoirs, including said fluid reservoirs of different densities and arranged to deliver said liquids to the fluid separation vessel so that a mixture of the liquids is present in the fluid separation vessel, wherein the fluid separation vessel comprises a plurality of outlets, through which the fluids can be extracted separately from the separation vessel.
    The education system differs from a conventional fluid separator used in a commercial or industrial facility due to the separation of the fluids before being supplied to the separator, so that the fluids are mixed on demand for an educational purpose.
    The educational system can be provided as a dimensioned desktop system, allowing a simple installation, unlike industrial units.
    The fluid separation vessel may comprise a transparent outer wall to allow visualization of the fluid separation therein and the reservoirs may comprise liquid reservoirs. Each tank can be in fluid communication with the container. The system may comprise a regulator for independent control of the flow to the tank from each tank.
    The container may comprise a plurality of liquid outlets and a gas outlet.
    The container may comprise an internal wall, such as a baffle or a dike, for example for the isolation of a first liquid from a second liquid depending on the height of the interface between them. The inner wall can be raised from an inner base of the container. An outlet can be provided on both sides of the dike.
    The container may comprise a circumferential outer wall, which may be transparent.
    The flow through one or more inputs and / or outputs can be controlled, for example by regulators. Each inlet and / or outlet can have a respective regulator, such as a valve. The flow rate through one or more inputs and / or outputs can be used to control the flow rate through the separation vessel. The container can be arranged so that at least a part of the flow regime, for example in the direction between the entrances and exits, is laminar. The flow rate may be laminating at least a part of the container in the proximity of (for example, towards) the inner wall and / or an outlet.
    An inlet of the container may be arranged to promote mixing of the fluids within the container. A turbulent flow rate can be established in the vicinity of (for example, towards) one or more inlets of the container or an associated end of the container. One or more inlets can drive the entrainment of a gas into the liquid contained in the container.
    One or more inlets can be arranged at a height in the container so that the fluid flowing through the inlet falls under the action of gravity in the fluid within the container. Said inlet may be above the height of an inner wall (for example a dike) in the container.
    The container can be elongated, where the entrances are located towards one end of the container and one or more exits are located towards an opposite end.
    A reservoir may contain a hydrocarbon, for example an oil, such as a synthetic oil. Oil can be selected to be particularly safe in an educational environment. The reservoir may contain an ester, such as isopropyl myristate.
    A reservoir can contain water.
    The density ratio between the different liquids used can be 10: 9 or greater. Liquids can be immiscible. A liquid can have a hydrocarbon chain of high weight percentage.
    Each reservoir can have an associated regulator for independent flow control from the reservoir to the vessel. The flow paths from the reservoir outlets can be combined upstream of the inlet of the vessel, for example to produce the mixing of the fluids from each reservoir prior to supply to the separator vessel.
    The system may comprise one or more sensors, such as a flow sensor, to determine a corresponding operating parameter of the system. The sensor may comprise a flowmeter or fluid pressure sensor with respect to any, or any combination, of the inlet (s) or outlet (s) of the separation vessel. Additionally or alternatively, the sensor may comprise a fluid level sensor within the container. Additionally or alternatively, the sensor may comprise a fluid composition sensor (for example, a chemical composition), such as a gas or liquid composition sensor.
    The system may comprise a controller, usually in the form of one or more processors, for controlling the flow of the plurality of fluids to the separation vessel from the plurality of respective tanks. The controller can control the operation of one or more regulators.
    The education system may comprise a data warehouse that comprises a computer model of the fluid separation system. The model may comprise a graphic and / or mathematical model of the fluid system. The model may comprise any, or any combination of: a fluid level / volume for the fluid, or for each of the fluids, in the container; a flow rate through the inlet (s) and / or outlet (s); and / or a chemical composition of the fluids that pass through the inlet (s) and / or outlet (s).
    The model may comprise a graphical user interface in which a graphic model of the fluid system is displayed. The graphical user interface may comprise one or more parameter displays, for example, which may comprise numerical parameter values. One or more parameter values may be edited by a user to alter the operation of the computer model and / or the fluid separation system.
    The model may or may not receive sensor outputs from the fluid separation system. Consequently, the model can work in real time with the fluid separation system or it can operate isolated from the fluid separation system.
    Practicable embodiments of the invention will now be described in greater detail by way of example, only with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
    Figure 1 shows a three-dimensional view of the fluid separator for use in conjunction with the invention;
    Figure 2 shows a fluid system circuit according to an example of the invention;
    Figure 3 shows a three-dimensional view of an educational system according to an example of the invention; Y
    Figure 4 shows a graphical user interface comprising a computational model of a fluid system according to the invention.
    The invention derives, in a general sense, from the embodiment in which a fluid separator encompasses a number of important learning objectives for both scientific principles and the control system, particularly if it is customized to improve the learning experience. , for example, allowing visualization and / or interaction with the separation process.
    Turning first to Figure 1, a separation vessel 10 is shown in the form of a three phase separator. The separation vessel is arranged to be substantially horizontal during use and in this example is supported, in relation to a support surface, by a plurality of pins 12.
    The separation vessel has an elongated shape and comprises a transparent outer wall 14 that allows viewing of the interior of the container. The outer wall 14 is generally tubular / cylindrical in this example but it can be ovoid or even rectangular. Any single exterior wall or a plurality of walls or one or more parts thereof could be transparent to allow adequate visualization of the separation process in the container during use.
    The container 10 may comprise a first and a second end, each having a respective end wall 16, 18. In the first end wall, a fluid inlet 20 and a gas inlet 22 are provided. In this example, there are provided commonly a plurality of fluid compositions through a single inlet port 20, although in other examples a plurality of liquid inlets may be provided so that a certain corresponding number of different fluids are supplied into the container. The gas inlet port 22 admits ambient air into the container 10, usually in a controlled manner as will be described below.
    Halfway along the container, between opposite ends 16, 18, a dike 24 is provided, which extends halfway to the height of the interior volume of the container. In this way, the dam 24 prevents the flow from passing in a lower part of the interior of the container but allows the passage of fluid over it in an upper part of the interior of the container. The dam 24 is positioned towards the second end 18, that is to say displaced from the middle along the length of the container so that it defines a main inner part 26 and a smaller inner part 28, separated by the dike. The main and minor parts of the container thereby define adjacent wells inside the container.
    A plurality of outlet holes 30, 32 are provided in a lower part, ie in the base, of the container 10. An outlet hole 30 is provided on a first side of the dike, on the main part 26, and the other hole Exit 32 is provided on the other side of the dike, in the smaller part 28. Exit holes 30 and 32 provide outlets for liquid.
    One or more additional outlets 34 are provided on an upper part, for example on a roof, of the container 10 to allow gas flow from inside the container during use.
    A fluid level sensor is provided inside the container in the form of a float 36. The buoyancy of the float is adjusted according to the lowest density liquid to be used in the container 10. Accordingly it can be determined Precisely the height of the float in the lowest density liquid in the container. The float is connected by an intermediate arm to an upright wall 16 through a pin or pivot connection. In this way the inclination of the arm can be determined by means of an associated inclination sensor to determine the height of the float and thus the level of liquid in the container during use. The arm separates the float 36 from the end wall 16 so that it is not hit by the flow of fluid entering the container during use.
    Turning now to Figure 2, the arrangement of a larger fluid system according to an example of the invention is shown, so that the fluid separation system for educational purposes is adjusted. Figure 2 shows both the fluid connections, which normally comprise pipes / conduits, as well as the relevant sensor / control signal connections.
    The system comprises two separate tanks of liquid in the form of tanks 38, 40, each of which contains different fluids. Tank 38 is a water tank and tank 40 is an oil tank. Tank 40 contains a synthetic oil, selected to be safe in an educational environment, in particular an oil that is not toxic and is not irritating to the skin. Isopropyl myristate is used in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries as a lubricant, emollient, as well as in oral hygiene products and has a mild odor. As far as the present inventor knows, its use in educational tools has not been previously proposed and is particularly suitable. This synthetic oil has a boiling point of 120º and does not evaporate under ambient conditions (i.e. a classroom).
    Arranged in the fluid path between the outlet of each tank and the inlet of the separator, respective flow control valves 39 and 41 are provided to allow independent flow control from each tank to the inlet of the vessel 20, in accordance with the signals of control received. The pipes from each tank are joined downstream of the respective valves 39, 41 to give a single common inlet pipe to the container 10. A control valve 42 can be provided for the common inlet pipe upstream of the inlet 20.
    The air inlet 22 in this example is in fluid communication with the holes 44, 46 in the upper parts of the respective tanks 38, 40 through ducts 48. A corresponding control shutoff valve can be provided for each hole 44 , 46. The gas outlet 34 of the container 10 provides controlled gas ventilation from the inside of the container and comprises a gas valve, which functions according to the control signals received. The gas outlet may comprise a pressure sensor and / or a silencer 52.
    In this example, gas connections / ducts define a closed gas-tight interior, which can be selectively opened to allow gas to enter / exit the system. Each of the tanks 38, 40, the separator vessel 10, the gas inlet 22 and the gas outlet comprise a pressure sensor and an associated control valve to allow the fluid pressure in the system to be monitored and controlled, particularly in the container. It will be appreciated that various configurations of pressure sensor (s) and / or valves can be provided in different parts of the gas system to provide varying levels of control. A simplified embodiment may only require a pressure sensor for the separator vessel 10.
    A fluid sensor is provided, such as a static liquid pressure sensor 53 with respect to the smaller part of the container 28 (for example for oil).
    The liquid outlets of the container 30 and 32 are independently connected to the tanks 38 and 40 respectively by corresponding pipes 54 and 56, which provide return paths to the respective tanks 38, 40. Thus the pipes between the tanks 38, 40 and the container 10 defines a closed circuit, comprising flow loops for each of the water and oil tanks.
    Each outlet of the container 30, 32 may have a control valve 55, 57. Each outlet of the container may also have an independent drain valve.
    Each return line 54, 56 has a control valve 58, 60 of the return flow operating under the control of the received control signals. In this example, a respective pump 62, 64 is provided on each return path to drive independent return flow back to the tanks 44, 46. The pumps and / or return control valves can be controlled under the influence of a plurality of different control inputs as will be described below, including any or any combination of: inlet flow into the container (for example from the respective tank); fluid level in the container or in a part thereof; fluid level in a respective tank; vessel / tank / system pressure; and / or material composition of the fluid both in the return path and in the gas leaving the container 10.
    The return flow paths, and optionally the gas outlet 34, each comprise a material / chemical composition sensor. Said sensor can also be provided for each tank 38, 40, for example at the outlet thereof, to allow the detection of a change in the chemical composition of the respective oil / water flow, both before and after the separation has taken place. of the fluid. In this way, the purity of the independent fluid flows, and the changes in them due to the operation of the fluid separation system, can be evaluated.
    The return pipes 54, 56 may each have a hole to allow selective filling of the respective fluid circuits / tanks. The holes may comprise a shut-off valve that closes in normal operation.
    Check valves can be provided in any or with any combination of tank outlets and air inlet 22.
    The container has a plurality of fluid level sensors, which comprise a fluid level sensor at a relatively low level (ie a minimum threshold level) in the container, in each of the major and minor parts. An additional fluid level sensor is provided at a height (ie at the maximum fluid threshold level) above the height of the dike.
    In the example shown, the flow from the tanks 38, 40 takes place substantially under the pressure applied within the tanks, relative to that inside the separation vessel. Accordingly, the pressure applied to the container and / or the tanks according to the control signals can be set to allow a fine control of the force of the fluid flow to the container 10. The tank pressure can be set, for example , so that the pressure of the vessel is adjusted to control the flow rate. The flow may be influenced in part by gravity or, in other embodiments, could be completely controlled by gravity, although the pressurization of the tanks in this example is beneficial because it allows another control parameter to be varied to increase the complexity of the control system, or even set to simplify the control system as necessary.
    The return flow to the tanks is pumped mechanically. However, it will be appreciated that pumps can be provided, at any of the tank outlets and / or outlets of the vessel as necessary depending on the system configuration.
    A view of the system as shown for use in the form of an educational desktop tool is shown in Figure 3. The advantage of such a system is that each pipe, valve and sensor location in the system is easily visible and can be labeled accordingly.
    During use, the flow from each of the respective tanks 38 and 40 to the separation vessel 10 is controlled by the user, as well as the outflows from the container through the holes 30, 32. Figure 3 shows the user controls 66, provided as part of the fluid separation system. These controls comprise mechanical controls, such as buttons, discs or the like, an individual actuator being associated with each control variable, for example in the form of a control panel. In other examples, control variables could be introduced through a computer model of the system as will be described later.
    The flow into the container from the inlet 20 falls under the action of gravity (and can be driven by the pressure applied to the tanks), thereby producing swirls / turbulence at the point of entry into the liquid in the container . This ensures a complete mixing of the two liquids and drags air into the liquid. The separation of the oil from the water due to their respective densities is visible through the transparent outer wall of the container when the liquid mixture flows along the container towards the dike.
    The fluid in the vessel is allowed to separate, the gas being released in a gas phase. In the liquid phase the heavier water will be submerged to the bottom and the less dense oil will rise to the top of the liquid. This makes an interface between oil and water visible. Once the depth of the liquid phase exceeds the height of the dam the lighter oil will be able to flow over the top while the heavier water is retained. This allows the separation in 3 phases in the container, the oil being collected in the part of the container 28, where it is separated from the water, which is collected in the lower part of the part of the container 26. The respective oil and water components can be thus extract from the container through the outlets 30 and 32 respectively.
    The operator can alter the pressure inside the container 10 by varying the gas outlet valve, that is by adjusting a threshold pressure above which the gas will be vented from the container.
    In any of the examples described above, the temperature control can be adapted by providing a temperature sensor inside the container. The temperature sensors can also be provided with respect to the flow (s) of the tank outlet and / or vessel outlets (ie in the return paths to the tanks). One or more heat control elements (for example, a heater or heat exchanger) may be placed in any or any combination of: tanks 38, 40; tank outflows, either individually or in combination; and / or return routes 54, 56.
    Turning now to Figure 4, a graphical user interface 68 is shown for a computational model that accompanies the physical system described above. The computational model can be stored in a memory storage, such as a conventional hard disk or any other data storage medium, and can be operated by one or more processors and displayed on the screen. For this purpose, conventional computer equipment may be used, including a desktop PC, laptop, tablet, mobile phone or the like.
    The interface comprises a graphical representation 70 of the container and the key pipes leading to / from the container and the valves that can be controlled in the system. Although not shown in this graphical representation, tanks 38, 40, and / or other areas of the process system, can also be selected to be graphically represented in the user interface. In this way the controllable elements of the system are displayed graphically as well as the relevant flow paths between them.
    The computational model comprises a mathematical model in which a series of operational variables and control parameters are defined. Mathematical algorithms determine the impact of changes in control parameters on operational variables.
    Parameter displays 72 are provided for the operating parameters within the graphic model displayed in the user interface 68. Various displays of numerical / textual parameters 72A and graphics 72B are provided in this example, although the parameter display could be exclusively of one type. or another. Fluid levels in the container are plotted in this example.
    The computational model hosts any or any combination of the following operational variables with respect to any or any combination of the tanks or output (s) of the tanks; the entrance of the container; the parts of the minor and / or main vessel; the gas outlet from the container; the liquid outlet (s) from the container:
    • Flow
    • Temperature
    • Pressure
    • Valve situation
    • Level or volume of fluid (in tanks or container)
    • Composition of the material (for example represented as a molar fraction)
    Any of the above operating variables may have predetermined maximum and / or minimum thresholds. In the event that the value of the operating variable in the model exceeds a threshold value, the model may produce an alarm in the form of a visual or auditory output to the user. Operational variables may have one or more thresholds indicative of a normal operating range and one or more additional thresholds indicative of a critical threshold. Consequently, a first output can be generated to indicate abnormal operation (but within a non-critical operating range) and a second output can be generated after crossing a critical threshold.
    The user can adjust the degree to which any controllable valve is opened or closed in the model using user controls (that is, by entering a parameter value or interacting with an on-screen control). The user can adjust pressures in the tanks and / or the container to vary the flow rate (for example in combination with the control valve). The user can also adjust the temperature of the fluid. The fluid levels and material composition of the flows in different locations of the system can be adjusted passively in response to the valve / flow settings.
    In one example, the computational model is executed in real time with the fluid separation system described above in relation to Figures 1-3, where sensor readings in the physical system are supplied within the computational model. The control settings in the physical model can also be communicated to the computational model as corresponding signal inputs and / or vice versa. In another example, the computational model can be executed independently of the physical model. For example, multiple computational models can be independently run on a plurality of computers within a classroom, a laboratory or other teaching facility. In this way the relevant phenomena can be observed both in the real system and in the virtual model. It will be appreciated that the computational model can thus comprise a control system for the physical fluid separation system or a mathematical model of the fluid system can be executed in a completely virtual context. In an example of the invention, both computational models are provided with the physical system as a collective package or teaching system.
    Using the above system, one or more students can easily see and appreciate the physical separation process that takes place in container 10. Students also have the ability to manually change a certain number of control variables, particularly flows from tanks. 38, 40, the flows leaving the vessel through the return paths 54, 56. These respective flows allow the liquid level in the separator to be changed as well as the flow rate through the separator. The student can also alter the gas pressure inside the container and / or the temperature. The impact of any change can be seen within the physical system and / or in the on-screen computer model.
    Once the student (s) has achieved an appreciation of the physical system, the student can experiment with the model completely independent of the physical system.
    In any example of the invention, the model may comprise one or more scenarios.
    preset, for example, in addition to a normal boot scenario in which the system parameters
    and / or control values have been preset. Parameter value ranges can be predefined
    5 indicative of a normal system operation and the value of one or more parameters in the scenarios may be outside said normal operating range. These scenarios are particularly useful teaching tools since they require a student to analyze the abnormal behavior of the system and determine the one or more control variables that need to be changed to restore normal functioning. Consequently the scenarios define a set of problems to be solved by the student and can be fixed
    10 to provide a degree of difficulty / complexity, for example involving a plurality or a sequence of changes of control variables to solve the problem.
    The educational system described above can cover a significant variety of educational topics in a way that could not be taught conventionally in a single facility, including topics related to fluid separation dynamics and control systems in general, distributed control systems and
    simulation models
