Week 15 Final Year Project 2


Date: 9 May 2018

Time: 12.00 p.m

Place: Medical Section Level 5



Objectives:

- To demonstrate my final result and product to my supervisor in order to achieve A in FYP 2 that have my own work of contribution and something different. The own idea and work of integrity in my project to be a good product especially. 


Activities:

- Today, I demonstrate my project to my supervisor at medical section level 5 as an evidence that supervisor agreed with what I have achieved. After I was demonstrated, my supervisor told me that I was performed excellently. I had been asked to do the journal about my project and the prototype. This is because my sensors were worked very well and high sensitivity to detect smoke and also gas leakage such as benzene. The small amount of smoke can be detected by the MQ-135 gas sensor within 101-150 of API air quality. So, I was achieved my objectives to improve accuracy and sensitivity of the sensors.



- For the conclusion, the MQ-135 gas sensor is suitable for air quality monitor for sensitive gas such as benzene, alcohol, and smoke. The advantages of this sensor is a very fast response and recovery, have adjustable sensitivity and signal output indicator. The output voltage boots along with the concentration of the measured gases increases. Besides that, it is low cost and suitable for different applications. Basically, the gas sensors have heating purpose inside the sensor which is made up of aluminum oxide and tin dioxide. It has heat coils to produce heat, and thus it is used as a heat sensor.

Week 14 Final Year Project 2


Date: 2 May 2018

Time: 9.00 a.m

Place: Gemilang Hall Unikl BMI



Objectives:


- To present the prototype of final year project 2 (FYP 2) during Industry Day to the assessors at the gemilang hall Universiti Kuala Lumpur British Malaysian Institute. 


Activities:

-  Today, I have to demonstrate my project as a prototype to my assessors which are from lecturer Unikl Bmi, Madam Sabrina Mohamad and research engineer from Uniten Melaka. The two assessors will see my project and give some comments during the presentation. During the presentation, I was able to explain every part of the poster such as introduction, flow chart, results and objectives. I explain why I didn't use the ppm formula (parts per million) as detecting the carbon dioxide gas and smoke release in the surroundings. I use air pollutant index as a reference to show the level hazardous of the air quality. The API is developed in easily understood ranges of values as a means of reporting the quality of air instead of using the actual concentration of air pollutants.

No automatic alt text available.

 - This index also reflects its effect on human health ranging from good to hazardous and also can be categorized according to the action criteria as stipulated in the National Haze Action Plan. The Malaysian API system closely follows the Pollutant Standard Index (PSI) developed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency. So, I set the minimum good air quality status that below than 100 API to show normal condition of the air when no smoke or leakage gas in the surroundings. The yellow Led will light up to alert the user if there any smoke detected. When the air quality more than 101 API, so the status is hazardous and immediately the buzzer will produce sound and red Led light up. My project is easily to understand and user friendly compared the other project.
