Abstract
Neutron radiography (NR) can investigate the diffusion mechanisms of moisture transport within the silica gel material. Dynamic neutron radiography (DNR) possesses the possibility to investigate the moisture profile inside the silica gel filter. The technique explained the relationship between moisture movement and time. This study investigated the diffusion mechanisms (absorption and infiltration) of moisture in the silica gel filter by state-of-the-art dynamic neutron radiography (DNR) technique and advanced software. This study also measured the ability of the DNR technique to find out the diffusion coefficients of a silica gel filter material as a function of temperature and time.
