CHARACTERIZATION OF CHANGES IN FUEL CONTENT AT MICROWAVE FREQUENCIES

Abstract

Fuel quality is critical to maintaining efficiency in motor vehicles. In this study, a microwave sensor that is repeatable and applicable, exhibiting high sensitivity to changes in dielectric parameters, was proposed and examined in detail, particularly for the detection of compositional changes in diesel fuel due to kerosene. The proposed reflection-based sensor performs well by achieving a reflection response value of -64.96 dB at the 4.74 GHz resonance frequency. The performance of the sensor was tested by placing samples directly covering the entire sensor surface. The reflection response of the proposed sensor was determined by adulterating the pure diesel sample with different rates of kerosene. The proposed sensor observed resonance frequency shifts of 93 MHz, 189 MHz, and 234 MHz for 10%, 20%, and 30% doped samples, respectively, indicating that the sensor can effectively distinguish these adulterations. The proposed microwave sensor shows higher performance compared to existing sensors in the literature, with a quality factor of 4740, a normalized sensitivity of 6.33%, and a Figure of Merit value of 30004.2.

Öz

Motorlu araçlarda yakıt kalitesi verimliliğin sürdürülebilirliği açısından oldukça kritik bir öneme sahiptir. Bu çalışmada, tekrarlanabilir ve uygulanabilir olup dielektrik parametrelerdeki değişimlere yüksek duyarlılık gösteren bir mikrodalga sensör önerilmiş ve özellikle mazot içerisinde gaz yağına bağlı bileşim değişimlerinin tespiti amacıyla tasarlanarak ayrıntılı biçimde incelenmiştir. Önerilen yansıma tabanlı sensör, 4,74 GHz rezonans frekansında -64,96 dB'lik bir yansıma tepki değerine ulaşarak yüksek bir performans göstermektedir. Sensörün performansı, numunelerin sensör yüzeyinin tamamını doğrudan kaplayacak şekilde yerleştirilerek test edilmiştir. Saf mazot numunesine farklı oranlarda gaz yağı eklenerek önerilen sensörün yansıma tepkisi belirlenmiştir. Önerilen sensör ile sırasıyla %10, %20 ve %30 katkılı numuneler için 93 MHz, 189 MHz ve 234 MHz rezonans frekans kaymaları gözlemlenmiş olup, bu sonuçlar sensörün bu katkıları etkin bir şekilde ayırt edebildiğini göstermektedir. Önerilen mikrodalga sensör, 4740 kalite faktörü, %6,33 normalleştirilmiş hassasiyet ve 30004,2 başarım ölçümü ile literatürdeki mevcut sensörlere kıyasla daha yüksek bir performans göstermektedir
