Imaging of hydrogen gas concentrations were demonstrated using arrayed sensors system in the cylindrical diffusion tank-shaped simulator. The field effect transistor type hydrogen sensors with platinum gate electrode were used. The sensitivity of the sensors was around -34.1 mV/dec. and the response time was 1.2 sec. in average. By applying a sensor drive circuit to each sensor, the diffusion processes of the hydrogen gas were successfully obtained in time domain and two different processes were demonstrated using 100% hydrogen gas. These results indicate that real-time monitoring of the hydrogen gas distribution can be possible. Additionally, the calibration method of the acquired data was proposed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
