Visualizing Water Desaturation in Frozen Gas Diffusion Layers With Flow Field Segmentation via Synchrotron X-Ray Radiography
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Synchrotron X-ray tomography images were used to study dynamic, regional water transfer behavior in the gas diffusion layer (GDL) during thawing and desaturation processes. Initially saturated, frozen GDLs were thawed and desaturated with air in a serpentine gas flow channel. On-the-fly (OTF) high speed CT scans via synchrotron X-ray allowed the capture of consecutive water transfer inside the GDL under the cold start-up gas purging condition. Desaturation data of Sigracet 35AA GDLs with three superficial gas velocities (2.88–5.98 m/s) were selected for analysis. Multiple spatial segmentation levels based on the flow field geometry, including channel vs. rib, individual channels and ribs, and smaller sections in each channel and rib, were applied to the in-plane direction to study the GDL regional thawing and desaturation behaviors. Each segmentation volume had a similar desaturation pattern in general; however, water distribution and desaturation show heterogeneity over the GDL domain, as well as relation with factors including the flow field geometry, air traveling distance, and initial saturation level. These data from the segmentation analysis expand the knowledge of localized water transfer behavior during the cold start thawing process. These data can also provide valuable information for future cold start modeling and help in optimizing the PEM fuel cell flow field design.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
