Abstract

In this study, the diffusion process and the thermal energy distribution gradient of the sensor were confirmed by using the finite element analysis program (COMSOL) of the mesh method to analyze the thermal diffusion in the wearable fabric (Nylon) + MWCNT gas sensor. To analyze the diffusion process of thermal energy, the structure of the gas sensor was modeled in a two dimension plane. The proposed modeling was presented with the characteristic value for the component of the sensor, and the gas sensor designed using the mesh finite element method (FEM) was proposed and analyzed by suggesting the one-way partial differential equation in the governing equation to know the degree of thermal energy diffusion and the thermal energy gradient. In addition, the temperature gradient 10[K/mm] of the anode-cathode electrode layer and the gas detection unit was investigated by suggesting the heat velocity transfer equation.

본 연구에서는 웨어러블 Fabric(Nylon) + MWCNT 가스센서 내부에서 열확산을 해석하기 위해서 요소해석 프로그램(comsol)을 이용하여 센서 내부에서의 열용량의 확산 과정과 열용량 분포 경도를 확인하였다. 열용량의 확산과정을 해석하기 위해서 가스센서의 구조체에 대하여 이차원으로 모델링을 진행하였으며, 제시된 모델링에 대해서 센서 구성 부분에 대한 특성값을 제시하여 메시 요소법(FEM)을 이용하여 설계된 웨어러블 가스센서에 대해서 열용량이 확산되는 정도와 열용량 경도를 구하기 위해서 지배방정식으로 1계 편미분방정식을 제안하여 해석하였으며, 열속도 전달식을 제안하여 전극층과 가스 검출부의 10[K/mm] 온도 경도를 구하였다.
