Study on a Development Platform of Virtual Steam Jet Pump Based on Virtual Prototyping Technology

Based on virtual prototyping technology (VPT) and software engineering principles, and combining with the characteristics of steam jet pump, a virtual prototyping development platform of steam jet pump, consisting of five functional models, including general scheme design, virtual physical prototype design, virtual performance prototype design, assemble process analysis and VR model design and evaluation, was present in this paper. The architecture and functional model of the virtual steam jet pump prototyping development platform (VSJPDP) were proposed in the article. The ideas corresponding to several key technological problems for implementing the VSJPDP were also described. At last, the platform’s feasibility, effectiveness and advancement were verified by the development process of the virtual single-stage steam jet pump.
