CFD Analysis of Heat Transfer Phenomena in Arc Plasma Reactor

In order to control flows and temperature distribution within plasma reactors experimentally requires significant research development costs. the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) can be used as a powerful tool investigate flow pattern heat transfer inside allowing us construct best designs with minimal cost. this work profile gas in thermal reactor for carbon nanotubes synthesis is studied by COMSOL Multiphysics. Two background gases Helium (He) Nitrogen (N2) was compared. We conclude that unlike Nitrogen, ensures good recirculation arc chamber therefore replenishment of atmosphere reactants during process.
