Sensors Separation

Figure 5.12 shows the integral length scale as a function of distance from the source. As expected, the integral length scale increases in the downstream direction. Further, and more importantly, the integral length scale provides a measure of the plume width to which the chemical sensor separation can be compared. 

Figure 5.13 shows the correlation function for sensors that are separated by a fixed distance equal to L. The inner sensor moves throughout the field and its position is denoted by y, as shown in the sketch. The sensor location is normalized by the standard deviation of the time-averaged profiles (see Fig. 5.7). With this scaling, the profiles at the four downstream locations are coincident, which suggests that the integral length scale is the correct scaling length for the sensor separation and that the sensor location is properly scaled by the width of the time-averaged plume.

Because each enzyme sensor has its own unique response, it is necessary to construct the calibration curve for each sensor separately. In other words, there is no general theoretical response relationship, in the same sense as the Nernst equation is. As always, the best way to reduce interferences is to use two sensors and measure them differentially. Thus, it is possible to prepare two identical enzyme sensors and either omit or deactivate the enzyme in one of them. This sensor then acts as a reference. If the calibration curve is constructed by plotting the difference of the two outputs as the function of concentration of the substrate, the effects of variations in the composition of the sample as well as temperature and light variations can be substantially reduced. Examples of potentiometric enzyme electrodes are listed in Table 6.5. 

Interest in the development of synthetic schemes and approaches to create molecular recognition elements has blossomed during the past half century for a number of reasons. In contrast to biologically based receptors, artificial mimics have the potential advantages of being less costly, more stable, and better able to withstand harsher conditions.7-12 Furthermore, synthetic methodologies can be used to create receptors for molecules for which an artificial receptor does not exist. These designer materials have enormous potential in catalysis, clinical and pharmaceutical applications, chemical sensors, separation science, and electronics.7-12...

The cross-correlation technique measures the time of flight of an inherent flow tag passing through two sensors separated by a known distance. The technique has been used successfully to monitor single-phase fluid flows in which turbulent eddies modulate the interrogating ultrasonic beams. This type of correlation flowmeter has also been developed for solid/liquid and gas/liquid flows, in which the density fluctuation, caused by clusters of solids and by gas bubbles, is the prime inherent flow tag. 

A solid/gas flow instrument seldom measures mass flow rate directly instead, it generally measures the volumetric flow rate of solids, which includes measurements of solids velocity and concentration. Every sensing technique basically responds to variations in solids concentration measuring solids velocity again requires two sensors separated by a known distance so... 

The morphology of ordered mesostructured carbons is another important factor with respect to their practical applications. Various macroscopic morphologies are required, for example, films (in sensor, separation and optical applications), uniformly sized spheres (in chromatography) or transparent monoliths. Using suitable synthesis strategies, it is possible to control the external shape of the templated mesoporous carbon materials to generate powders, films and membranes, spheres, hollow spheres, rods, fibres, nanowires, nanotubes and monoliths.

Porosity can be defined as the fraction of the pore volume occupied by pore space or the volume of the pores divided by the volume of the material. Some porous polymer materials have been shown to be of practical use in the last decades. Porous polymer materials have recently become of immense interest to study arena in the development of new materials, because of their potential for appUcations in fuel cell membranes, chemical filtration, tissue engineering, adsorbents, catalysis, sensors, separations, electrochemical cells, storage and drug delivery, etc. [91-94].
