Sensitivity Model for a detector

AI Thread Summary
A sensitivity model for a near-infrared detector is being developed, focusing on radiometric calculations that account for noise factors like dark current and sky background. The main challenge is determining the required strength of the spectral line to detect hydrogen lines during an explosion without interference from the explosion itself. The discussion highlights the need for strategies to isolate the desired spectral signals amidst chaotic conditions. Effective detection methods are crucial for accurate analysis in such scenarios. Overall, the conversation centers on enhancing detection capabilities in complex environments.

hello,
I have to make a sensitivity model for a near infra red detector and I need help. I have so far done radiometric calculations taking into account noise, due to dark current, sky background, etc and calculated the minimum signal intensity i need. However, i have a few blocks:
I need to determine how strong my spectral line needs to be given that i am actually trying to detect it in an explosion (similar to detectng H2 lines in an explosion using near IR?) How do you not see the explosion and just see your H2 lines?
thanks

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
