SHS5964 - Tópicos Especiais em Hidráulica e Saneamento: Sensores e Novas Tecnologias para a Melhoria da Qualidade de Água com Monitoramento em Tempo Real (2020)

1 st day:

  • the sensors, the signals and the detection systems;
  • the sensor classification;
  • the unit of measurements;
  • the transfer functions (mathematical models, calibration, computational of a stimulus);
  • the sensor characteristics (span, accuracy, calibration error, nonlinearity, saturation, repeatability, resolution, uncertainty, output format, environmental factors).


2 nd day:

  • the physical principles of sensing (electrical charges and fields, capacitance,

             magnetism, induction, resistance, piezoelectric effect, hall effect, electro-optical effect,

             thermoelectric effects, sound waves, temperature and thermal properties of materials,

             heat transfer).


3r d day:

  •  the optical components of sensors (light, polarization, radiometry, photometry,

             windows, prisms, mirrors, lenses, fiber optics and waveguides);

  •  the interface electronic circuits (signal conditioners, sensor connections, excitation

             circuits, analog to digital converters, data transmission, noise in sensors and circuits,

             batteries for low power sensors).

4 th day:

  •  case study: turbidity with a smatphone camera.

5th day:

  • case study: digital holography and particle datection in water with a low cost real time test bench.
