Design and Simulation of Air-Fuel Percentage Sensors in Drone Engine Controlling

This paper presents the design and simulation of air-fuel percentage sensors in drone engine control using Matlab. The applications of sensor engineering system have been pioneer in technology development and advancement of automated machine as complex systems. The integration of drone fuel sensor system is the major series components such as injector, pumps and switches. The suggested model is tuned to interface drone fuel system with fuel flow in order to optimize efficient monitoring. The sensor system is improved and virtualized in Simulink block set by varying the parameters with high range to observe the fuel utilization curves and extract the validated results. The obtained results show that the possibility of engine operation in critical conditions such as takeoff, landing, sharp maneuver and performance is applicable to turn off the system in case of break down in the sensor to ensure the safety of drone engine. HIGHLIGHTS The drone engine fuel rate sensor is designed and examined to determine the air-to-fuel ratio The suggested model is tuned to interface drone fuel system with fuel flow in order to optimize efficient monitoring The obtained results show that the possibility of using engine with different failure mode and fault considerations The represented control structure is simple, efficient and provides the required air-to-fuel ratio

Characterization Studies of a GC based SAW Sensor System for Potential Detection and Identification of Toxic Environmental Gases/Vapors

The characterization of a custom-designed GC-based SAW e-Nose sensor system is presented here to study the sensing ability of the sensor system to detect and identify low medium and high toxic vapors. A semi-automated multi-vapor generator generates vapors of chemical compounds that are then exposed to the sensing system to examine its performance under various concentrations. Time-domain verses frequency response of GC-SAW Sensor is noted for repeated cycles against different chemical compounds like xylene, 1,2 dibromoethane, dimethyl sulfate, triethyl phosphate, nitrobenzene, phosphorous trichloride being tested. The generated data is examined using a principle component analysis (PCA) technique to detect a unique response for an individual chemical compound. Experimental results are reported.
