Abstract

To enhance the yield of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs), a vortex enhanced CVD reactor (VECVD) design has more advantage over the conventional straight tube CVD. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code was applied to analyze heat and mass transfer processes to compare the conventional CVD design performance with a new type. The calculation showed that VECVD has a stronger and more uniform circulation along the reactor than the conventional CVD design.
