研究目的
Investigating the use of pyroelectric sensors to monitor entropy generation in real time for predicting the failure and aging of electrical or mechanical systems.
研究成果
The study concludes that pyroelectric cells can effectively monitor entropy generation in real time, with smaller cells being more favorable to avoid influencing the entropy variation of measured objects. However, the thickness of these cells must be reduced to enhance temperature variation rates and strengthen electrical signals. The research demonstrates the potential of pyroelectric sensors in predicting the aging and failure of systems, with specific threshold times identified for capacitor failure under various applied voltages.
研究不足
The study highlights the difficulty in measuring induced currents from undersized pyroelectric cells due to diminution in electrode area, which increases inaccuracy in entropy estimation. Additionally, the thickness of PZT cells must be carefully balanced to promote temperature variation rates without excessively reducing electrical signals.
