Gas Leakage Warning System

Abstract

Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) gas is the most commonly used gas for cooking in India and it is considered highly flammable since it is a combination of hydrocarbon gases such as Propane (C3H8), N-butane and Isobutane (C4H10). These elements contribute to its high density and long-distance travelling capabilities. This results in an extensive gas outspread during leakage with multiple avenues for ignition, primarily due to the electric circuitry at home. The primary focus of our project is to simulate a network map of a gas leakage warning system so as to showcase its implementation in an apartment-based setup. The network map can be scaled up for implementation in residential sectors, petroleum and oil fields, sewage lines, etc. based on our proof of concept. In our use case, we would implement LPG Gas Sensors to Microcontroller for providing a logical binary output of fire warning indication.
