Method for Determining the Concentration of Unknown Combustible Gas †
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is known that catalytic sensors have different sensitivities to different combustible gases. Usually gas analyzers are calibrated by methane and not suitable for measuring other flammable gases. Correction is needed to get real concentration of other gases. In this paper it is shown that sensor sensitivity to one particular gas alters with sensor temperature and each gas has its own rate of reducing the sensitivity with a further increase of temperature. It allows us to calculate the concentration of unknown flammable gas. Applying this method decreases measurement error from 30–40% to 5–10% for hydrocarbons.

Effect of the temperature difference between gas and organic dust on propagating spherical flames
A new analytical study performed to investigate the effect of the temperature difference between gas and particle in propagation of the spherical flames. The combustible system is containing uniformly distributed volatile fuel particles in an oxidizing gas (Air) mixture. The model includes evaporation of volatile matter of dust particles to known gaseous fuel (methane) and the single-stage reac...
متن کاملA new method using a catalytic sensor for the identification and concentration measurement of combustible gases
the present state-of-the-art in gas detection does not allow the precise titration of a combustible gas in air with a single catalytic sensor, because the signal depends also on other parameters than the oxidation of the gas. It is why the catalytic transducers always consist of both a detector and a compensating element. We present here a process which permits the avoidance of the compensating...

The inverse problem of identifying an unknown source control param- eter in a semilinear parabolic equation under an integral overdetermina- tion condition is considered. The series pattern solution of the proposed problem is obtained by using the weighted homotopy analysis method (WHAM). A description of the method for solving the problem and nding the unknown parameter is derived. Finally, tw...

متن کاملDetermination of Original Gas Condensate Composition in The Case of Gas Coning
Obtaining samples that represent original fluid of reservoirs optimizes reservoirs management. The optimized management increases recovery. Also, selecting and performing proper Improved Oil Recovery (IOR) or Enhance Oil Recovery (EOR) programs depend on collecting representative samples. Achieving accurate compositions of original in-situ fluid prevents overdesigning surface facilities. Re...
