Liquids sensing for industrial applications

Abstract

Liquid is one of the primary state of matter that has so much importance in our lives. The fact that every liquid has distinct property called the dielectric constant. It gives us the opportunity to measure and analyse various form of liquids by simply exposing them to some sort of electrical signal. Today this knowledge of dielectric properties of liquids has become an important tool, if properly interpreted will provide useful information that can be utilised in many ways. From changes in concentration level; to moisture content in plants; to analysis of body fluids to aid medical diagnosis. For instance early detection and monitoring of diseases such as diabetic and cancer in medicine and quality of product in food and petroleum industry. My research is aimed at designing sensors that are capable of investigating liquids with accuracy and at reduce cost using microwave resonators cavities.
