Currently I am doing a Bachelor in processchemistry, so I am transfering the project to a mini version running on a arduino.
After using a commercial NIR + chemometry to determine octane numbers of gasoline, I will buy 3-4 NIR filters that match the right fingerprint wavenumber of NIR light to determine octane number of gasoline. I will be connecting the fuel line of my car, through 3-4 quartz kyvets behind the filters, photodiodes capture the amount of light, Arduino gathers the data and processes it and calculates the octane number of the gasoline currently running throughthe vains of my car (did i take 95 or 98 octane last time, oh no its a mix, the gasstation is screwing with me).
Cheers,
David.
