Sensors for HHO dry-cell performance monitoring

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on selecting appropriate sensors for monitoring HHO dry-cell performance. Key requirements include sensors for tracking electrolyte levels in both the bubbler and the dry-cell, as maintaining equal levels is critical to prevent overheating. Additionally, there is a need for a digital pressure sensor and a flow/rotameter for measuring HHO flow rates, with plans to validate these measurements against a displacement method. The user also seeks recommendations for temperature sensors for the dry-cell. Overall, the goal is to ensure accurate monitoring of process parameters to optimize the HHO system's performance.

Hello All,

i am working on an HHO dry-cell project for which i need to decide upon the sensors to be used in monitoring the process parameters.

1. some sensor for monitoring and displaying the electrolyte level in the bubbler during experiment.

2. some sensor for monitoring the electrolyte level in the dry-cell.this is very critical.although i have made 2mm holes in the SS 316 L plates(anode,cathode and neutral) in bottom zig-zag arrangement to allow for equal flow and equal leveling of electroylte in each cell.i still need to ensure that this is achieved..what should i do for that? unequal electrolyte level in cells will certainly overheat them.

3. do i need a digital pressure sensor? where do i installl it?i intend to buy a flow/rotameter too.intially will measure the HHO flow rate by displacement method(in the water tub and 1 litre bottle) and have maximum readings for one configuration/experiment. will compare the rotamter readings with this conventional method to find the correction factor and will key that in MS EXCEL.so that this should relief me from performing the displacement method for all those experiment i perform..

4. what sensor to use for reading and monitoring the dry-cell temperature?

Please suggest the appropriate sensors for each .sensors with a digital display would be preferable.

regards,

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
