Özet

The technological interest for a given material depends very much on its thermal properties. The carbon nanotubes forming atoms a circular structure with a diameter of the order of 1 nm, but with a length which can be up to several hundred microns. This makes the carbon nanotubes to form an excellent model for one-dimensional systems. Much research has been devoted to the manufacture of carbon nanotubes, which are expected to represent the material that will be included in the next generation of heat exchangers components. Despite all the attention that carbon nanotubes have attracted from a scientific perspective, the theoretical understanding of them only developed relatively limited. Stability and performance of nano-device control plays a critical role in the heat conduction of nanotubes. Carbon nanotubes are one-atom thick as small-sized materials are excellent conductors of heat. In this context, in the present study by the method of finite element mesh based thermal behavior of carbon nanotubes are examined. In this study the lattice thermal conductivity of nanotubes is to see the effect. Single-walled and multiwalled carbon nanotubes in the ANSYS simulation technique has been developed and implemented. This method is different in the lattice of the nanotubes was used to compare the heat conduction. The number of bonds is equal to the number of atoms and nanotubes are modeled. Lattice structure which is different armchair (5, 5) and zigzag (10, 0) nanotube thermal conductivity, were compared. The results presented, the proposed finite element model, to study the thermal behavior of carbon nanotubes, have shown an important method.
