Using MATLAB Component Object Model with Visual Basic Graphical User Interface (GUI): Application To: One Dimensional Diffusion Heat Transfer Equations of Extended Surface (FINS)
Mohammed Khalafalla Mohammed, Mahir Abdelwahid Ibrahim Ismail
Abstract: The main problem objects implementation of all learning projects or labs in the world is the high cost. So all manufacturer companies in the world resort to find other teaching methods which have low cost and more reliability to replace these labs. One of these methods are called simulation software which make user performs his experiments as when he uses actual labs. In this paper simple way for teaching one dimensional diffusion heat transfer equations of extended surface (fins) was make for readers or users. This way was done with Microsoft COM technology as communication instrument between Visual Basic and Matlab application. By COM technology we can exchange our data between two applications. The application which sends the data by COM technology is called client and the other which receives data by COM technology is called server. Here Visual Basic was used as COM client and Matlab as COM server. By this way the user does not need to know any things about Visual Basic or Matlab just he uses them to study one dimensional diffusion heat transfer equations of extended surface (fins) when he uses Visual Basic GUI and enters his input parameters then will see the results very easy and clear. Also by this way we can offer the time need to study this case study.
