Brief modeling equation for metal-oxide; TGS type gas sensors

Abstract

The main aim of this research is to propose a mathematical equation in order to reduce the model parameters based on temperature, humidity and gas density variation in metal-oxide semi-conductive sensors. Also the Arduino based Designed E-nose with the capability to change the temperature and humidity is used to obtain the real sensor?s response in various conditions. The sampling procedure consists of three sectors: fixed temperature and fixed humidity, variable temperature and fixed humidity, fixed temperature and variable humidity, which are stored in Excel software and analyzed with MATLAB. The output response is based on combination of First-Order Plus Dead Time (FOPDT) which has the Minimum Parameters system (MPS) to investigate the behavior of the sensors. Finally, after evaluating the models with the real sensor response and bi-sentence exponentials, it is suggested that the MPS model introduces fewer and simpler parameters, which helps to simulate the sensor?s behavior more accurately and consequently in order to draw a better short response.
