Hydrogen measurement during steam oxidation using coupled thermogravimetric analysis and quadrupole mass spectrometry

Journal Article Parkison, Adam; Nelson, Andrew - Measurement

An analytical technique is presented with the goal of measuring reaction kinetics during steam oxidation reactions for three cases in which obtaining kinetics information often requires a prohibitive amount of time and cost. The technique presented relies on coupling thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) with a quantitative hydrogen measurement technique using quadrupole mass spectrometry (QMS). The first case considered is in differentiating between the kinetics of steam oxidation reactions and those for simultaneously reacting gaseous impurities such as nitrogen or oxygen. The second case allows one to independently measure the kinetics of oxide and hydride formation for systems in which both ofmore »« less

Shot-by-shot Spectrum Model for Rod-pinch, Pulsed Radiography Machines

Journal Article Wood, William - AIP Advances

A simplified model of bremsstrahlung production is developed for determining the x-ray spectrum output of a rod-pinch radiography machine, on a shot-by-shot basis, using the measured voltage, V(t), and current, I(t). The motivation for this model is the need for an agile means of providing shot-by-shot spectrum prediction, from a laptop or desktop computer, for quantitative radiographic analysis. Simplifying assumptions are discussed, and the model is applied to the Cygnus rod-pinch machine. Output is compared to wedge transmission data for a series of radiographs from shots with identical target objects. Resulting model enables variation of parameters in real time, thusmore »« less

Evaluation of Deblur Methods for Radiography

Technical Report Wood, William

Radiography is used as a primary diagnostic for dynamic experiments, providing timeresolved radiographic measurements of areal mass density along a line of sight through the experiment. It is well known that the finite spot extent of the radiographic source, as well as scattering, are sources of blurring of the radiographic images. This blurring interferes with quantitative measurement of the areal mass density. In order to improve the quantitative utility of this diagnostic, it is necessary to deblur or “restore” the radiographs to recover the “true” areal mass density from a radiographic transmission measurement. Towards this end, I am evaluating threemore »« less

Generalized Uncertainty Quantification for Linear Inverse Problems in X-ray Imaging

Thesis/Dissertation Fowler, Michael

In industrial and engineering applications, X-ray radiography has attained wide use as a data collection protocol for the assessment of material properties in cases where direct observation is not possible. The direct measurement of nuclear materials, particularly when they are under explosive or implosive loading, is not feasible, and radiography can serve as a useful tool for obtaining indirect measurements. In such experiments, high energy X-rays are pulsed through a scene containing material of interest, and a detector records a radiograph by measuring the radiation that is not attenuated in the scene. One approach to the analysis of these radiographsmore »« less

Measurement and analysis of release isentropes using proton radiography (u)

Conference Schwartz, Cynthia; Rigg, Paulo; Cherne, Frank; ...

Off-Hugoniot measurements are needed to further develop predictive models that accurately describe the behavior of metals undergoing phase transitions. Predictive modeling of phase transitions is essential for LANL to meet its programmatic objectives. Understanding the dynamic evolution of density as a function of time during the release process is important to developing high fidelity equation of state models. This is particularly true for metals that have a degree of complexity, such as a solid-solid phase transition. The equations-of-state (EOS) for metals with complexity are more difficult to measure and to model, and states far away from where measurements are easilymore »« less
