Non-intrusive gas-phase thermometry for industrial oxy-fuel burners

Non-Intrusive Submetering of Residential Gas Appliances

A new technique was developed to non-intrusively monitor the use of individual gas appliances in homes. It relied on a very sensitive master gas meter equipped with a pulse meter, data logger, and software. The procedure involves two steps: decomposition and identification of the end uses. The technique is about 95% accurate but the algorithms can still be confused by some relatively common sit...

Non-Intrusive Detection of Extracellular Mediators in Microbial Fuel Cells

Endogenously produced, diffusible redox mediators can act as electron shuttles for bacterial respiration. Accordingly, the mediators also serve a critical role in microbial fuel cells (MFCs), as they assist extracellular electron transfer from the bacteria to the anode serving as the intermediate electron sink. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) may be a valuable tool for evaluating t...

Development of Semiclosed Cycle Gas Turbine for Oxy-Fuel IGCC Power Generation with CO2 Capture

Industrial Non-intrusive Coded-Target Identification and Decoding Application

Non-intrusive and automatic raw part alignment for machining process is a current challenge for industry, due to the high cost of bad machining. The use of artificial markers, such as coded-targets (CT) provides a promising technique to be applied within industrial environments due to its robustness, non-intrusive nature and low cost. In this paper, an CT identification and decoding algorithm i...

Acoustic gas thermometry

We review the principles, techniques and results from primary acoustic gas thermometry (AGT). Since the establishment of ITS-90, the International Temperature Scale of 1990, spherical and quasi-spherical cavity resonators have been used to realize primary AGT in the temperature range 7 K to 552 K. Throughout the sub-range 90 K < T < 384 K, at least two laboratories measured (T − T90). (Here T i...
