Implementation of ultrasonic sensing for high resolution measurement of binary gas mixture fractions

We describe an ultrasonic instrument for continuous real-time analysis of the fractional mixture of a binary gas system. The instrument is particularly well suited to measurement of leaks of a high molecular weight gas into a system that is nominally composed of a single gas. Sensitivity < 5 × 10−5 is demonstrated to leaks of octaflouropropane (C3F8) coolant into nitrogen during a long duration (18 month) continuous study. The sensitivity of the described measurement system is shown to depend on the difference in molecular masses of the two gases in the mixture. The impact of temperature and pressure variances on the accuracy of the measurement is analysed. Practical considerations for the implementation and deployment of long term, in situ ultrasonic leak detection systems are also described. Although development of the described systems was motivated by the requirements of an evaporative fluorocarbon cooling system, the instrument is applicable to the detection of leaks of many other gases and to processes requiring continuous knowledge of particular binary gas mixture fractions

Sensors for Fluid Leak Detection

Fluid leak detection represents a problem that has attracted the interest of researchers, but not exclusively because in industries and services leaks are frequently common. Indeed, in water or gas supplies, chemical or thermal plants, sea-lines or cooling/heating systems leakage rates can cause important economic losses and sometimes, what it is more relevant, environmental pollution with human, animal or plant lives at risk. This last issue has led to increased national and international regulations with different degrees of severity regarding environmental conservation.[...

The Effect of Lost Data on the IoT Platform on the Formation of Fetal Heart Rate Graphs for Remote Diagnostic Purposes

FHR is the fetal heart rate from bpm recording detected by doppler, FHR monitoring is very important to monitor fetal health to avoid fetal distress or fetal death, FHR provides more in-depth information about how the baby is doing compared to traditional monitoring of the baby. IoT media is a medium for monitoring remote sensor values ​​using internet connections, but there are several obstacles, namely there are doubts about the data displayed by IoT media, namely the risk of missing or unsent data, this will be very dangerous if the data that is should be monitored by doctors as a reference for medical diagnosis and treatment is lost or not displayed on the IoT, because if there is missing data it will cause inaccurate diagnosis or health treatment decisions by doctors. The aim of this study to analyze the effect of lost data on the formation of the Fetal Heart Rate graph on the IoT platform as a medium for remote diagnosis. In addition, FHR data can be saved for further diagnosis by a doctor if needed. This study uses an ESP32 microcontroller which will also be used to send data to IoT (Thinger.io). The independent variable used in this study is FHR data before it is uploaded to the IoT, and the dependent variable is FHR data when it is uploaded to the IoT. The greatest data loss is at the farthest distance of 30 meters with a value of 62.47%. Based on the research that has been done, this study has the advantage that the results obtained from Doppler are close to the BPM value in humans. And also this research has developments that can be done in the future such as adding storage to the website that is used for monitoring, and placing the right position on Doppler so that the results are more stable

Accurate reference gas mixtures containing tritiated molecules: Their production and raman‐based analysis

Highly accurate, quantitative analyses of mixtures of hydrogen isotopologues—both the stable species, H$_{2}$, D$_{2}$2, and HD, and the radioactive species, T$_{2}$, HT, and DT—are of great importance in fields as diverse as deuterium–tritium fusion, neutrino mass measurements using tritium β-decay, or for photonuclear experiments in which hydrogen–deuterium targets are used. In this publication we describe a production, handling, and analysis facility capable of fabricating well-defined gas samples, which may contain any of the stable and radioactive hydrogen isotopologues, with sub-percent accuracy for the relative species concentrations. The production is based on precise manometric gas mixing of H$_{2}$, D$_{2}$, and T$_{2}$. The heteronuclear isotopologues HD, HT, and DT are generated via controlled, in-line catalytic reaction or by β-induced self-equilibration, respectively. The analysis was carried out using an in-line intensity- and wavelength-calibrated Raman spectroscopy system. This allows for continuous monitoring of the composition of the circulating gas during the self-equilibration or catalytic evolution phases. During all procedures, effects, such as exchange reactions with wall materials, were considered with care. Together with measurement statistics, these and other systematic effects were included in the determination of composition uncertainties of the generated reference gas samples. Measurement and calibration accuracy at the level of 1% was achieved
