One can expect a small difference between the real and estimated temperatures (obtained from the calibration curve of the sample) for temperatures lower than 20 K owing to the difference between the thermal coefficients of silicon and glass.
The uniqueness of the present design is that it does not require heating the entire sample chamber for temperature dependent measurements.
The combination of CFD modelling and kinetic modelling offset the deviation of temperature measurement and hence provided a sample for high temperature reaction simulation.
Thermographic analysis of the sample for different temperatures (c f) T = frac{{({textit{AP}} - 0.142)}}{0.0061}.
All the analyses were conducted on samples collected using a standard sampling method, except for temperature measurements which were performed in situ.
The highest desirability of 87.63% was accomplished by setting up experimental conditions as follows: 19.9 °C for sample temperature, 19.3 °C for ambient temperature and 240 V for instrument voltage.
It is also observed that doped materials have the opposite behaviour, that is, exhibiting band gap narrowing with respect to the undoped samples for each temperature.
All samples for each temperature were conducted simultaneously with absorbance readings taken for every 15 sec for 20 minutes (yielding 80 absorbance readings per aliquot).
The water samples were analysed for temperature, pH, salinity, conductivity, total dissolved solids, alkalinity, hardness, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, chloride, nitrite, nitrate, phosphate, sulphate, sodium, ammonium, potassium, total chlorophyll, biochemical oxygen demand and chemical oxygen demand.
Samples were tested for temperature, pH, turbidity, chlorine residual, conductance, coliforms, heterotrophic bacterial plate counts (HPC), and Escherichia coli following standard methods (7 ).
