Abstract

The finite element software FLUENT was used to study the thermal balance and thermodynamic analysis of composites reinforced by pulse bending and flat nanopaper during the heating process. At the initial stage of heating, the heating energy is mainly used to increase the internal energy value of the polymer matrix and the nanopaper, and because the mass and heat capacity of the polymer matrix are greater than the nanopaper, the heat absorption of the polymer matrix is more than that of the nanopaper. With the increase of the heating time, the increase of the external surface temperature makes the convection heat dissipation increase, so the proportion of convection heat dissipation increases gradually. As the heating time prolongs, the heating rate of the polymer matrix and the nanopaper decreases and the heat absorption of the material decreases. Therefore, the endothermic ratio of polymer matrix and nanopaper decreases.
