1-D MODEL FOR FORCED FLOW-THERMAL GRADIENT CHEMICAL VAPOR INFILTRATION PROCESS FOR CARBON/CARBON COMPOSITES

摘要

A one-dimensional model was developed for the forced how-thermal gradient chemical vapor infiltration of carbon/carbon composites. The infiltration time predicted by the model agreed very well with experiments, where propylene and propane were used as the hydrocarbon source. The model was also validated by interrupting the infiltration and comparing predicted with observed densities. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd [References: 34]
