In order to optimize the combustion process, engine performance and meeting the EPA emission standards, information should be gained in real time about properties of gasoline, which is supplied nowadays in a wide range with different compositions. This study presents a new sensor platform based on a phononic crystal (PnC) sensor comprising a cavity and its application as in-line real-time measuring system to determine gasoline properties. The method is based on the analysis of the transmission spectrum of a phononic crystal sensor filled with the liquid gasoline blend. We could reveal a strong correlation between gasoline properties and the frequency of maximum transmission.Obtained experimental results show that the phononic crystal sensors can be considered as a prospective, competitive and inexpensive device specifically for ethanol in gasoline detection and distinguishing fuels with different octane numbers.
