Spontaneous Migration of Polyethylene Molecule Sheathed inside Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube for Nano-Heat Pipe
نویسندگان
چکیده
Development of nanoscale thermal exchanging devices is critical to thermal management in nanoscale. The spontaneous migration of polyethylene molecule sheathed inside single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) are observed. And the multi-factor analysis of spontaneous migration about temperature, mass and potential barrier shows new features about motion mechanisms, and enriches the existing mass transport theory greatly. Here, based on this finding, we report a nano-heat pipe (NHP) composing of a SWCNT and a polyethylene molecule. Using molecular dynamics simulations, the heat exchanging coefficient can reach 450 WK(-1) cm(-2) at 500 K by NHP arrays with a quantity density of 7 × 10(13) cm(-2). This study will benefit the designs of NHP and other nanoscale mass transport devices.

The effects of Single Walled Carbon Nanotube (SWCNT) on mixed convection in a cavity are investigated numerically. The problem is studied for different Richardson numbers (0.1-10), volume fractions of nanotubes (0-1%), and aspect ratio of the cavity (0.5-2.5) when the Grashof number is equal to 103. The volume fraction of added nanotubes to Water as base fluid are lowers than 1% to make dilute ...

We report a numerical investigation on the catalytic growth mechanism of a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) inside a template SWNT, that is, formation of a double-walled carbon nanotube (DWNT). The molecular dynamics simulations together with complementary ab inito calculations suggest that the DWNT formation from thermally annealed metallocene-encapsulating SWNT goes through formation of m...
