Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Methane/hydrogen leaks are tested for four appliances and three pipework sections found in post-meter natural gas installations with 5% and 20% hydrogen using a static flux and pressure drop test method. Appliance emissions ranged from 0.75–37.1 mg CH 4 h -1 when measured shortly after the appliance had been turned off and 0.29–5.9 mg CH 4 h −1 after the appliance had been turned off for 8 h. Appliance leakage testing must take into account these two different leak rate periods. Adding hydrogen decreased methane emissions 1.12–36.99% for a 5% H 2 blend and 1.61–68.78% for a 20% blend. Pipework sections leaked less although a steel/PTFE piping section leaked 101.85 mg CH 4 h −1 . Observed hydrogen leakage was 4–4.5 vol% for the 5% blend and 13–14 vol% for the 20% blend. This suggests that HBNG mixtures do not leak at a significantly greater rate than natural gas.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
