Week 3 of FYP 1

Date: 23/09/2013 (Monday)
Title: Project titles confirmation

-After making some research on the internet, I have decided to choose my own title and completed a synopsis of what I plan to do. Therefore, before I proceed with the title I get an appointment with supervisor and explain the project to make sure the title meets the requirement for degree students.

- During discussion, I have brought along some literature review and show the innovativeness of my project ideas.

-My proposed title and synopsis are:-

Title: A Development of Smart Methane Gas Device for Vehicles


Importance of Natural Gas

The CNG/LNG (Compressed Natural Gas / Liquefied Natural Gas) it is a versatile source of energy that can be utilised in industries, commercial, power generation, residential and transportation. The high degree of awareness on protection the environmental and comparative low cost may lead to a greater use of natural gas. Today, NGV (Natural Gas Vehicles) demand as an energy source in Malaysia is high due to the huge reserve which enables long-term supply and a perfect substitute petroleum or diesel as a source of energy. It is a clean burning fuel that can reduce emission and considered as an alternative fuel for industrial and motor vehicles.

Natural Gas - naturally occurring mixture of hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon gas found in porous geologic formations. The primary component is methane.



Project Synopsis

The increasing used of NGV gives concern about the gas leaks to the surrounding. As it is known that detecting the present of methane gas is important as the gas is an explosive type of gas and also acts as an asphyxiant. The hazardous characteristic of this gas can cause harm to your safety. This project will be done by hardware (methane detection device) and software application (such as gsm, android, iphone, ect).
