A Numerical Analysis for Predicting the Thermal Conductivity of Carbon Nanotube Reinforced Copper-Matrix Nanocomposites
Thermal conductivity of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) copper-matrix nanocomposites was predicted by using numerical approach. In the present study, twenty representative volume elements (RVEs) were modeled by assuming that the CNTs are distributed homogeneously in the copper (Cu) matrix. It is assumed th...
