The Thermal Conductivity Simulation Calculation of Polyacryonitrile-Based Carbon Fiber/Pitch-Based Carbon/Carbon Composites

Abstract:

The thermal conductivity of polyacryonitrile-based carbon fiber/pitch-based carbon/carbon composites was simulated by the finite element analysis. After the density, thermal capacity and thermal conductivity of graphite and carbon fiber were given for known parameters, the geometric grid figure) was generated after the Gambit software processed the unit geometric model grids and the thermal conductivities of carbon/carbon composites were simulated by the Fluent software.
