Hydrostatic testing of porous assemblies

Pores of the material were plugged with dust particles suspended in water. The plugging material used was a standard test dust prepared as a slurry in distilled water. This technique provides a permanent high-integrity seal for porous material without affecting its physical properties, yet permitting pressure testing to verify structural adequacy.

Mass transport mechanism in porous fuel cell electrodes

Results of experiments on hydrogen-oxygen fuel cells show that higher current densities are obtained with cell anodes having a 100 micron thin active layer of porous nickel containing silver electrocatalyst. Increase in current density is attributed to a convective mass transport mechanism.
