Analyzing Multiphase Flow in Membrane Electrode Assembly Using a Mixed Wettability Mathematical Model
DownloadFall 2018
Improving fuel cell performance at high current density is critical for reducing stack size, cost and weight in automobile applications. A major source of performance losses at high current density is the accumulation of liquid water in the electrode which blocks reactant transport. Studying...

Direct Imaging and Subsequent Modeling of the Cement Microstructure and Integrity of Cement/Casing and Cement/Formation Interfaces
DownloadFall 2020
As a key component of the wellbore barrier system, cement provides zonal isolation and structural support during the entire life of a well. However, even when the cement is properly placed in the well, the zonal isolation may be lost over time. Failure to establish and maintain an effective...
