CARBON EMISSION MONITORING SYSTEM IN AVIATION

– The aviation sector continues to face environmental challenges with aircraft emission. This project aims to provide viable and economical solutions that include various sensors and a microcontroller to monitor the aviation ecosystem continuously. The system utilizes a gas sensor to monitor the quantity and concentration of noxious gases in the air and continually monitor carbon emissions. An ultrasonic distance sensor is included in the design to assist in his measurement and estimate of the fuel level. Also, the system accounts for the fuel level and the rate of fuel that is being consumed of combustion and the carbon emissions that are being produced. The DS18B20 sensor accounts for the combustion temperature because the combustion temperature affects the efficiency of fuel consumption. The central control unit for the sensor system is an ESP32 microcontroller. The sensors are interfaced and provide inputs that the ESP32 will process to provide outputs of gas concentration, distance, and temperature. The ESP32 microcontroller engineer is designed to provide wireless connectivity for remote mobile and cloud monitoring of the system. In the design, a range for emissions is designed that, when the emissions monitored are greater than this, the system will provide an alarm to notify personnel.
