O Uso e criação na planilha eletrônica para ensino e simulação de uma torre de resfriamento para a engenharia

Abstract

During the Covid-19 Pandemic, many activities of engineering courses were paralyzed due to the impediment of using the universities' physical facilities, such as laboratories and libraries. With the objective of reducing possible learning losses for students, this work presents an iterative simulation in VBA of equipment present in the manufacturing industry in the region, the choice of preparing the program consisted mainly of the ability to carry out its own tasks, reducing the need to purchase dedicated software. To validate the data found, they were compared with the literature. Thus creating a form of logical program to carry out the calculations necessary for the design and efficiency analysis of a cooling tower, and a contribution to classes in various manufacturing disciplines.
