Objective

To develop an interactive platform that allows engineering students to visualize and simulate thermodynamic processes (such as isothermal, adiabatic, isobaric, and isochoric processes) with real-time graphs, enhancing conceptual understanding and practical learning.

Key Features

Student Panel:

• Simulate thermodynamic processes with adjustable parameters (pressure, volume, temperature)

• Visualize P-V, T-S, and other thermodynamic diagrams in real-time

• Observe energy transfer, work done, and heat exchange

• Save experiment results and export graphs for reports

• Step-by-step instructions and theory explanations for each process

Teacher Panel:

• Create or customize thermodynamic process simulations

• Upload pre-defined scenarios for students to explore

• Monitor student simulation attempts and results

• Evaluate student-submitted reports based on simulation outcomes

Admin Panel:

• Manage users (students & teachers)

• Monitor system usage and active sessions

• Add new processes or simulation modules

• View analytics on most-used processes and student engagement

Tech Stack

Workflow (Step-by-Step)

1. User Registration & Login

• Students and teachers register/login securely

• Access dashboards with simulation options

2. Process Selection

• Students select a thermodynamic process (isothermal, adiabatic, isobaric, or isochoric)

• Adjust process parameters: pressure, temperature, volume, etc.

3. Simulation Execution

• Run simulations and visualize changes in real-time

• P-V and T-S diagrams plotted dynamically

• Observe work done, heat exchanged, and energy transformations

4. Data Collection & Reporting

• Record experiment results automatically

• Export graphs and data for reports

• Teachers review submitted reports and provide feedback

5. Analytics & Progress Tracking

• Track student engagement with different processes

• Generate reports for instructors on accuracy and completion

• Identify common difficulties for targeted teaching
