Bruce Char Department of Computer Science Drexel University Spring 2012 CS123 Engineering Computation LabLab 3
Administrative Notes • Please contact your individual instructors with questions and problems!! • Please be sure to check your grades in bbVista on a weekly basis • If you are eligible for extended time for the proficiency exam, please submit your special accommodations form to your instructor.
Lab 3 Overview • Based on materials from Chapter 18 • Chapter 18 – Creating User Interfaces with Maple Components • Use of slider, text, button and plot area components to control the AC simulation procedure
Lab 3 Overview • Lab 3 outline • Part 0 – practice using Maple’s components palette to create a user interface • Part 1 – User interface for the HVAC procedure • Use the final procedure developed in Lab 2 (Part 2) and develop a user interface to control the high and low AC air flow settings and to invoke the simulation • Part 2 – modify the thermostat control algorithm to allow for 3 (high, middle and low) states
Lab 3 Maple Concepts:Discussion and Demo • Part 1 – Maple Procedure Header from Lab 2 • HVACSim2=proc(totaltime, dt,T0,Tea0,Vz0, lf,hf, aFunc,fFunc) • totaltime = duration of time step simulation • dt = size of each time step • T0 = initial room (and outside wall) temperature • Tea0 = temperature of cooling air • Vzo = zone volume of air (always use 4000 scf) • lf = low flow rate • hf = high flow rate • aFunc = name of acState function (acState0, acState1) • fFunc = name of airFlowControl function (airFlowControl0, airFlowControl1) • HVACSim2(30, 0.01, 90, 60, 4000, 3500,6000, acState0, airFlowControl0);
Lab 3 Maple Concepts:Discussion and Demo • Part 1 - Demo of Maple User Interface Components • Note – the “Draw Plot” button for Part 2 should be programmed as follows (actual parameter values are suggested here for the original, 2 state thermostat control functions): • Do( %nameofplotarea = plots[display] (HVACSim1(30, 0.01, 90, 65, 4000, %lowFlowSlider, %highFlowSlider, acState0, airFlowControl0)))
Lab 3 Maple Concepts:Discussion and Demo • Part 2 – Design specs for modified thermostat control • AcState rules • 3 levels high, middle and low flow rates (80, 76 and 74 degree thresh holds respectively) • 3 points of action • High changes to low at 74 degrees • Low changes to middle at 76 degrees • Middle changes to high at 80 degrees • airFlowControl considerations • Only lf and hf values are passed into proc • Middle state flow value computed as function of lf and hf values • Hint – the computed middle state flow rate should be closer to lf than hf
Quiz Week (7) Activities • Quiz 3 will be released on Friday (5/11) at 6 PM • Deadline: Thursday (5/17) at 4:30 PM • Makeup quiz – from Friday (5/18) at 9 AM through Sunday (5/20) at 11:00 PM • 30% penalty • Pre-lab 4 quizlet • From Thursday (5/17 – noon) through Monday (5/21 – 8 AM) • Be sure to visit the CLC for quiz or general Maple assistance
