ENG4000 Monitoring Capacitance Changes over Various Materials and Fluids Aysar Khalid, Hassan Chehaitli, Mohammad Aryanpour Group 5 Course Director & Advisor: Prof. E. Ghafar-Zadeh Mentor: Giancarlo Ayala-Charca, Mourad Amara

Motivation Calibrating and understanding planar capacitors Detecting solid dry/wet material properties using planar capacitive sensors Current sensing technology is limited in accuracy Applications for pressure measurement, humdity sensing, impurity detection (Lubepoint et. al, 2013)

Background Capacitance sensors detect a change in capacitance when something or someone approaches or touches the sensor. Current techniques (ESP) unable to work on low or high resistivity gases Different particles require different techniques (Analog Devices et. al, 2006) Particle Particle Size (microns) Dust Mites Starches Asbestos Anthrax1 - 5

Methodology ● Planar capacitor is connected and produces Cx ● Cx occurs when excitation signal (square wave) with f= 90.9 Hz ● EVB then takes Cx and converts to digital signal using modulator/filter/etc. ● Need to ensure minimal RF/EM interference on sensor (Analog Devices et. al, 2006)

Progress Results To Date

#SampleAmount (3/10cc) Capacitance (fF) CAPDAC (hex / fF) Offset Capacitance (fF) 1Alcohol1 unit / Alcohol1 unit / Ginger Beer1 unit / Ginger Beer1 unit / Water1 unit / Water1 unit /

Discussion From the last presentation Sensor shielding and grounding Developed and used aluminum die-cast casing for shielding Various fluids and better instrumentation Calibration and stability

Conclusion ; Next Step Make shielding more secure Test more fluids/materials and samples for more tests Connect sensor with LabView setup for data logging Noise from Laptop/measuring instrument
