The analysis of complex fluids such as crude oils, fuels, vegetable oils and mixed waste streams poses significant challenges arising primarily from the multiplicity of components, the different properties of the components (polarity, polarizability, etc)

The generation and transport of water in both the liquid and gas phases during device operation is an important area of study to understand both steady-state and transient performance of proton exchange membrane fuel cells. Specifically, localized high

Efficient water management is one of the key design objectives for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), due to the influence of water on material selection, hardware configuration, and stack operating conditions. Neutron imaging has proven to be
Methyl esters are commonly used as surrogates for complex biofuel chemistry; this utility necessitates development of combustion mechanisms for these species. A pathway accounting for early CO2 production in the combustion of methyl esters, using methyl
The densities and velocities of sound of five fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) were measured at approximately 83 kPa (atmospheric pressure in Boulder, CO) at temperatures from (278.15 to 338.15) K. The FAMEs measured were the five primary components of

In this study neutron radiography is applied to investigate the performance of a PEM fuel cell based on the effect of liquid water accumulation in the cell. Dynamic performance tests have been carried out on a PEM fuel cell with a specially designed
We have recently introduced several important improvements in the measurement of distillation curves for complex fluids This new method is a significant improvement over current approaches, featuring (1) a composition explicit data channel for each
Under a program to develop a consumer-oriented rating methodology for residential cogeneration fuel cells, the performance of three systems was characterized in the NIST Residential Fuel Cell Test Facility. These systems differed with respect to the type

This paper presents a survey of the thermodynamic properties of normal hydrogen and parahydrogen with comparisons of properties calculated using the standard models to available experimental data. Motivated by the fact that the currently accepted standards

An interdigitated cathode flow field was tested in-situ with neutron radiography to measure the water transport through the porous gas diffusion layer in a PEM fuel cell. Constant current density to open circuit cycles were tested and the resulting liquid

Neutron imaging has proven an invaluable tool for water metrology in operating proton exchange membrane fuel cells. Due to limitations in scintillator-based detector resolution, neutron imaging has been applied only to assessing the in-plane water

Single fuel cells running independently are often used for fundamental studies of water transport. It is also necessary to assess the dynamic behavior of fuel cell stacks comprised of multiple cells arranged in series, thus providing many paths for flow of
