Propostas de montagens experimentais com Arduino para o estudo de controle na Engenharia Química

Abstract

In recent years the Arduino platform has presented itself as a valuable tool for the development of low-cost electronic projects. In addition, the wide range of sensors and actuators compatible with the platform promotes the development of projects with the most varied applications. Considering the importance of the experimental practice in undergraduate courses in engineering and the lack of didactic experiments that address the topic of process control in the curriculum of the Chemical Engineering course of the Federal University of Uberlândia, this work proposes five projects of experimental assemblages with Arduino for the teaching of control in Chemical Engineering. First, concepts such as functionality, construction and history of Arduino are introduced. Next, the sensors and actuators used in the projects of this work, as well as instructions for its operation and connection with the platform are presented. Finally, the projects are described with the specification and sizing of the necessary materials and also, with an estimate of cost.
