Modeling and simulation of a gas detecting device for providing safety; and reducing the risk of accidents due to gas explosion or fire

Abstract

The Internet of things (IoT) has been a current topic of interest. It creates an interconnection between electronic devices, computers, and human beings. Implementing IoT can be highly beneficial for humanity for various reasons, such as safety. The accidents which occur due to flammable gas explosions and leakage have been an ongoing problem in Bangladesh. While many settlements possess safety anti-fire alarms, it is noteworthy that such facilities are not accessible by the majority of the people in our country. Thus, we developed a gas detecting device that acts according to how it is programmed to systematically let the user know of an abrupt change in gas concentration in the surroundings where the device operates and, hence, work accordingly to lower the risks of any adverse development as explosions or fire. Ideally, the device is placed around stoves, machines, or any place where flammable gas exposure is present. The whole architecture has four parts – 1) Simulation, 2) Mechanical, 3) Electrical, and 4) Software. In this thesis, to prove our whole concept, we will simulate the software, hardware, and electrical parts in depth.
