The condition monitoring system for an in-situ pipeline is an innovative concept that uses MQ-5 sensors to detect fuel leaks in pipelines and relay concentration data to a receiver station. The essence of the monitoring process is to ensure the safety and security of engineering properties and lives. The project addresses the crucial requirement for rapid detection of fuel leaks to avoid environmental problems, economic losses, and safety risks connected with pipeline circulation. The goal is to create a leak detection monitoring system. The project required the design and execution of four transmitter stations, each responsible for detecting fuel leaks at various places along a small-scale pipeline and transmitting concentration data to a central receiver station. The system's response time, a critical performance parameter for this project, was measured by timing how long it took for an alert to arrive at the receiving station after the transmitter detected a leak. This time was measured at three distances between the transmitter and receiver stations: 1m, 2m, and 3m. Multiple measurements were taken at each distance, and the average response time was computed. The results showed that as the distance between the stations increased, so did the reaction time. The average response time at 1m was 3.37 seconds, whereas, at 2m and 3m, it was 3.856 seconds and 4.198 seconds, respectively. A t-test inference was performed to check that there was a distinct difference between the response times for each distance, and a significant difference was detected. The built system effectively demonstrated its ability to detect fuel leaks, and the observed response times offered useful information about the system's performance at various distances. This technology demonstrates the potential to improve pipeline transportation safety and efficiency by enabling early identification of fuel leaks.

This research explores the effectiveness of a cutting-edge smart irrigation sprinkler system, which boasts an adjustable water distribution feature. Utilizing a technique known as nozzle-pulsing combined with a variable-speed control mechanism, the system is capable of varying its water discharge rates. The evaluation encompassed measuring flow rates for both the system as a whole and its individual nozzles, as well as assessing travel speed and the uniformity and precision in water delivery. Performance metrics such as CU, DUlq, CV, MAE, MBE, and NRMSE were employed to determine the irrigation system's distribution uniformity and application accuracy. Field testing was conducted in the months of August and September 2023, under varying wind conditions with careful timing to reduce evaporative losses. The prevailing weather conditions were characterized by an absence of rainfall, with ambient temperatures ranging from 25 to 38°C and relative humidity spanning 9 to 35%. Results revealed that the system adeptly modulated irrigation rates between 0 to 25 mm and altered travel speeds from 0 to 3 m/min. The implementation of pulsing to deliver variable volumes of water exerted a negligible effect on the nozzle flow rates, evidenced by an average application error below 6%. The smart sprinkler system achieved an average CU of 89.7% versus 83.8%, an average DUlq of 87.0% versus 76.8%, and an average NRMSE of 19.33% versus 25.84%, paralleling the performance of traditional systems. The study concluded that the described Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) system is capable of matching the precision and consistency of Constant Rate Irrigation (CRI) systems. The water distribution's consistency and precision were found to be statistically unaffected by the sprinkler cycling rate, cycle duration, or system movement speed (P > 0.05). This opens the door to more accurate and consistent irrigation scheduling for agricultural applications using a novel lateral-move irrigation system endowed with VRI technology, which is vital for water-efficient irrigation practices. This finding underscores the potential of variable-rate sprinkler irrigation as a tool to enhance water management strategies.
