University Project: Critical Analysis of Gas Leakage Detection System

This report presents a critical analysis of a project focused on gas leakage detection and automated control systems. The student analyzes a technical paper, examining the development of a system using sensors (MQ6), IoT, and an Android application to detect and alert users about LPG gas leaks. The analysis covers the project's objectives, methodology (including SDLC), literature review, and hardware components (Raspberry Pi). The student identifies the system's advantages in detecting and controlling gas leaks to prevent accidents. However, the analysis also points out weaknesses, such as the lack of detailed tables and charts and the need for further investigation into potential problems and alternative frameworks. The report also includes a reference list of relevant journal articles.

CRITICAL ANALYSIS
Abstract
The paper mainly reflects on the development of gas slippage as well as programmed
controlling LPG gas value in order to avoid the chances of accidents due to the leakage of LPG.
The main of this paper is to critically analyze the system in order to get proper information and
knowledge about the detection of gas leakage as well as the ways for monitoring and controlling
the gas leakage by utilizing the relay. The paper reviews number of articles as well as journals in
order to reflect the importance of the system and how the system is generally helps in reducing
the chances of gas leakage. After proper review, it is analyzed from the entire paper that the
framework that is utilized within the system is considered to be advantageous as it helps in
determining the LPG slippage by alerting the buyer in order to break the valve for avoiding
accidents. The paper also proposes the architecture and reflects on the hardware model that is
mainly utilized in order to develop the system. In addition to this, it is found that SDLC
methodology is mainly utilized in order to successfully develop the system. Moreover, the paper
also focuses on the weaknesses of the article and identified that further investigation or research
is generally required in order to determine the problems that generally occurs due to the
utilization of gas slippage as well as programmed controlling LPG gas value. Furthermore,
proper investigation on different other frameworks needs to be done in order to get the same
result with the help of different technologies.

CRITICAL ANALYSIS
Task 1: Critical analysis
1.1 Critical analysis on home security
1.1.1 Description of the project
The paper mainly focuses on the discovery of gas slippage and programmed controlling
of gas valve. It is found that the shrewd gas framework which further helps in distinguishing the
LPG slippage and generally cautions the customer about the break with the help of an android
application with the help of Internet of things so that the customer can be able to kill the gas
place from anyplace. It is identified that leakage of LPG gas can cause a number of accidents.
The termination, blast as well as suffocation generally depends on the various physical properties
including poisonous quality as well as combustibility.
1.1.2 Objective
The paper mainly aims to detect the leakage of gas by utilizing MQ6 sensor for sending
message to the user by utilizing android application with the help of IoT. The paper further aims
to monitor the temperature of the home as well as fire in order to ensure that the temperature
does not extends above the value of threshold. In addition to this, the paper also focuses on the
ways that helps in automatically controlling the leakage of gas with the help of relay.
1.1.3 Analysis of the literature, methodology as well as other parameters
The author started the research by focusing on the related works that further helps in
providing in-depth knowledge as well as information related to discovery of gas slippage and
programmed controlling of gas value. It is found that the paper mainly proposes a cost effective,
automatic LPG as well as programmed LPG booking slippage location as well as gas checking
framework. The slippage of LPG gas will mainly be distinguished with the help of the sensor as

well as with the help of the data that is generally sent to the client with the help of Short message
service at the proper time when cautious clients mainly utilizes GSM module. The author reflects
that the most important advantage of this framework is that it helps in screening the level of LPG
that is mainly introduced within the chamber with the help of weight score as well as due to the
presence of GSM module. Furthermore, the paper elaborates that after the framework assist in
determining the LPG fixation then it helps in surpassing the specific level which further creates
caution for the customers by properly sending SMS to determined cell phone as well as alarm.
It is found that the paper mainly focuses on exhibiting the plan with proper practical
programme disturbing framework which further helps in properly distinguishing the melted gas
slippage in various premises. The test outcomes that are seen for a USB controlled gas slippage
framework is considered to be beneficial for giving alert. It is found that the hardware model of
the proposed system mainly consists of Raspberry pi as the main controller helps in detecting
LPG gas. In order to implement the system, SDLC methodology is mainly utilized. In addition to
this, it is found that the system is mainly suited for the application that is mainly associated with
leakage detection which generally suffers from drawbacks including humidity as well as
temperature. The sensor reading within the system helps in reading the temperature, detection
status as well as weight of the cylinder that contains gas. In addition to this, the system also helps
the opportunity to log in, check out as well as change password.
1.1.4 Weaknesses of the paper
The author mainly reflects on the discovery of gas slippage and programmed controlling
of gas valve by utilizing shrewd gas framework that assist in distinguishing the level of LPG by
utilizing some android application through IoT. The paper elaborates the importance as well as
advantages of the gas slippage as well as programmed controlling of the gas value but the paper

does not focus on the down side of the system. In addition to this, the paper does not utilize
proper table and charts in order to clarify the entire concept.
1.1.5 Further investigation
It is identified that further possibility if investigation is generally seen within the current
paper that is reviewed or analyzed. Proper investigation on different other frameworks needs to
be done in order to get the same result with the help of different technologies. In addition to this,
proper investigation on the problems that occurs due to the use of this system needs to be
properly investigated.
