Numerical thermal analysis of armchair (6,6) and zig-zag (12,0) carbon nano-tubes (CNTs)

Abstract

In this study, the thermal behaviour of small-sized single-atom CNTs was examined. CNTs are composed of crystals that form a nanostructure with different geometric shapes by arranging them in different ways according to the length-diameter ratio. Due to the mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties of CNTs, the thermal conduction of CNT materials is critical in controlling the performance and stability of CNTs. CNTs, which are low-dimensional materials with a single atomic layer thickness, have excellent thermal conductivity. According to the simulation technique in ANSYS, CNTs containing the same number of atoms and bonds were developed. The heat transfer of different structures of CNTs in armchairs (6,6) and zig-zag (12,0) were compared. A comparison of zig-zag and armchair CNTs thermal behaviour shows that zig-zag CNTs lattice structure has more advantages than armchair CNTs lattice structure by heat transfer.
