Author(s)
Daniel S. Hussey, David L. Jacobson, Jason B. Siegel, C. D. Stefan, Xinfan Lin, David Gorsich
This paper shows how neutron radiography can be used for in situ quantification of the lithium concentration across battery electrodes, a critical physical system state. The change in lithium concentration between the charged and discharged states of the

Changing Optical Axis Due To Reactor Operation

January 12, 2011
Author(s)
Daniel S. Hussey, David L. Jacobson, Elias M. Baltic
During reactor operation, the neutron flux distribution is modified by the reactor control mechanisms, in the case of the reactor at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, this is determined by the angular position of the Cd shim arms and the

WATER TRANSPORT ACROSS A POLYMER ELECTROLYTE MEMBRANE UNDER THERMAL GRADIENTS

January 11, 2011

March 1, 2009
Author(s)
T Trabold, Jon P. Owejan, Jeffrey J. Gagliardo, David L. Jacobson, Daniel S. Hussey, Muhammad D. Arif
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

Statistical Learning Methods for Neutron Transmission Tomography of Fuel Cells

July 8, 2008
Author(s)
Kevin Coakley, Dominic F. Vecchia, Daniel S. Hussey
In a fuel cell, water is formed as a by-product of the reaction between hydrogen and oxygen. As a neutron beam passes through a fuel cell, it can undergo s-wave scattering. For the dry and wet states of a fuel cell, there are spatially varying neutron
