Abstract
In this work, we have introduced theoretically a novel design of a 1D phononic crystal model acting as a sensor for gasoline components (blends). The proposed sensor is prepared to distinguish between different components of gasoline with high performance. The sensor is designed from a defect layer filled with one of the gasoline blends in the middle of a 1D multilayer phononic crystal configured as, [(lead / epoxy)2 gasoline [(lead / epoxy)2]. The numerical investigations are obtained based on the transfer matrix method and the acoustic properties of the constituent materials. The numerical results showed that our sensing tool can distinguish between different gasoline blends with high selectivity and sensitivity at the same time. In addition, the monitoring of these blends could be obtained. The proposed sensor provides high sensitivity and quality factor that can reach 2.97 × 107 Hz and 5034, respectively.
