  Temperature and Humidity Monitoring with Email Alerts

  Sandeep Perugu

  Biomedical, agricultural, and pharmaceutical industries make up the majority of the country's economy. All of these industries place a significant emphasis on the monitoring of temperature and humidity. Any sort of unbalancing in the natural circumstances or disconnectedboundaries can make monetary misfortune in the efficiency of drug and agribusiness businesses. Patients who pose a threat also require environment-controlled conditions in the healthcare industry. In this project, we will use the Arduino tool and DHT11 to measure temperature and humidity, which will help to balance the environment and boost productivity. I will be using email alerts if the temperature meets a condition on maximum celsius or minimum celsius. We can control any electronic device in homes or businesses using the Internet of Things. In addition, we are able to visually analyze data from any sensor from any location in the world. The microcontroller Arduino UNO retrieves temperature and humidity data from the DHT 11 sensor. These kinds of things are making microcontroller-based systems possible, which are taking the place of older, more complicated electronic circuits. It reads the output of the DHT sensor module, converts the temperature and humidity values into a suitable percentage and Celsius scale number, and then displays the humidity and temperature readings using the DHT11 sensor.This project aims to develop a hardware- and software-based system that can accurately measure temperature and humidity. Additionally, this system will enable time monitoring. In this, we measure the temperature and humidity using an Arduino board that connects to a sensor that is placed in the local environment. The following objectives are the main focus of the project, achieving a hardware and software system that works and lets you measure temperature, humidity, and the time, utilizing a development board for sensor communication.

  Temperature control

  Varsha Tejaswi Kilaparthi

  We hear about temperature control issues a lot these days. The temperatures in the rooms will alter according to the seasons. Temperatures inside, outdoors, and those of food, heating equipment, and the atmosphere can all be measured. In order to regulate the temperature, you can either heat or chill the space as needed. If you live in the cold north, you might be able to create something that will sound an alarm, turn on the heat, or start moving water when your pipes are about to freeze. So, using the ESP8266, which allows us to perform tasks wirelessly, we will examine how to resolve this temperature-related problem.The main aim of this project is to control the temperature. By using constant temperature in a room, reading can be set up-to a certain value. If the value reached its maximum, the alarm will indicate the system that it is exceeding its limit. On an hourly basis the data readings can be noted in the web service. .

  Tilt Angle Optimization for Bifacial Solar in an Array for Every County of the United States

  Sidhanth Venkatasubramaniam, Sabin Satheesh

  In the 21st century, governments worldwide are striving to become more reliant on renewable energy technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, address climate change, and decrease their carbon footprint. Photovoltaic (PV) technology is gaining more attention, despite PV panels consuming significant land resources, while expanding populations require more land for agriculture. In this research, we focus on bifacial solar panels, as they generate relatively high power per square area, reducing the payback period. Bifacial panels can convert the irradiances falling on both the front and back surfaces into electricity. Although there are many studies in the field of tilt optimization and types of PV panels used, there is a lack of research focusing on a bifacial panel array. Our primary objective is to develop a model of bifacial panels to predict the power generated, and our secondary objective is to use that model to find the optimum tilt for every county in the United States and explore the effects of climate, temperature, and latitude. To calculate the ideal tilt angle for various locations across the country, we used a combination of modeling and simulation techniques in Python, including a Python optimization tool. Our findings indicate that the ideal tilt angle for bifacial solar panels in an array varies considerably depending on the location. Our data can be used to optimize the setup and operation of bifacial solar panels in the US, resulting in more cost-effective and efficient energy production.

  Ultrasonic Nest Security System

  Srinivasa Prabhat Josyula

  The Ultrasonic Nest Security System works similar to the Google Nest. Nest, as we know it, is used to arm and disarm an alarm, but in this case, I will use a buzzer. This device is useful to prevent unauthorized entry or movement after a particular period of time and it also prevents thefts from happening. So, with the security system in place, people can be sure that their house is well protected. In this project, I will make use of Arduino UNO R3 as the embedded system. An Ultrasonic sensor will also be installed to detect if there is any movement of the object if it passes the sensor. I will also make use of a buzzer which is a digital component that is connected to digital outputs to generate a sound. In this case, the buzzer will produce a sound when it is triggered. This buzzer is connected to the Arduino UNO R3 and it beeps when an object crosses the threshold. The code will be written in Arduino IDE. I will implement this model on Node-Red and then send the data that is collected by the Ultrasonic Sensor which detects movements and alerts people to Adafruit.io. Adafruit.io is used to read and analyze data in the form of charts, bar graphs etc. With this information, I will be able to improve the security system in my house by installing more CCTVs and take more measures from any unfortunate situations to arise.

  Use of Additive Manufacturing in Developing Advanced Composite Structures Fabricated by Resin Transfer Molding

  Khalid Aldhahri

  Resin transfer molding (RTM) is a manufacturing process used to produce high-quality composite parts that offer exceptional high strength-to-weight ratios, superb stiffness, and excellent resistance to corrosion and fatigue. These composites are typically comprised of carbon or glass fibers infused with a liquid thermosetting resin that hardens during a high temperature cure cycle. To produce RTM products, a matched metal mold is usually required. The mold cavity is shaped to the desired geometry of the finished composite part, and channels or gates allow resin to flow into it. In reference to cavity mold design, there are many challenges in terms of resin injection gates, vents, and resin flow directions, both in terms of filling time and the flow dynamics of the materials. These issues often require many costly iterations to perfect the cavity design for a given part. This study focuses on the use of AM in developing and fabricating plastic prototype molds that can be used to produce a limited number of finished composite parts, such as T-joints, canted T-joints, and I-beams. This approach allows for rapid and low-cost iteration of composite designs prior to investing in expensive finished metal tooling.

  Using an Arduino to regulate fan speed in accordance with temperature

  Swecha Dorepally

  One of the biggest issues we currently have is energy waste. We frequently neglect to turn off the fan. This occurs as a result of carelessness, forgetting to turn off the fan, or being in a rush. Therefore, in this project, we consider how to solve this issue.The temperature sensor is employed in this endeavor to regulate the fan's speed. Therefore, the fan does not turn on when the room's temperature is below the minimum temperature specified in advance, and it turns on when the room's temperature is higher than the minimum temperature. This can be used for other electronic appliances, such as an air conditioner or heater, decreasing energy waste.

  Validation of effective removal of PFAS from glassware sampling train used for evaluation of thermal treatment of PFAS

  Elizabeth Riedel

  Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are anthropogenic chemicals that are extremely stable and highly toxic to the environment and human health. PFAS are used in a myriad of common products including nonstick cookware, water-resistant fabrics, personal care products, cosmetics, and aqueous film forming foam (AFFF). Because of their widespread use and resistance to degradation, PFAS have infiltrated the environment, including drinking water sources. To combat the spread of PFAS, various methods for treatment and removal of PFAS are being researched. A promising solution that has been identified for PFAS removal is thermal treatment, where degradation of PFAS occurs after exposure to exceedingly high temperatures. However, chemical characteristics of certain PFAS create the potential for them to adhere to equipment used during experimentation. For proper assessment of PFAS removal, it is essential to confirm that there is no carry over from sampling or contamination on the experimental equipment. This paper evaluates two techniques for their potential to effectively eliminate PFAS carry over on glassware used in a sampling train for thermal treatment. The first is a procedure used to clean glassware in the field when sampling for PFAS. The second is a modified version of the glassware cleaning procedure recommended in the OTM 45 protocol from EPA for PFAS sampling. In this experiment, glass impingers contaminated with solutions containing two of the most prevalent PFAS, perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS), were cleaned following the two separate procedures. Results from an analytical laboratory following EPA Method 537 showed that the second cleaning procedure was approximately five times more effective at removing PFOA and about two times more effective than the first cleaning procedure at the removal of PFOS from the impingers. Therefore, the second cleaning procedure is recommended for glassware used in PFAS experimentation.
