Abstract

The finite element software FLUENT is used to analyze the influence of calculation areas and thickness of nanopaper on the thermal conductivity and the temperature distribution on the composites reinforced by pulse bending nanopaper during the heating process. The average temperature of composites reinforced with different calculation areas during heating process along the section z=0 was analyzed. The temperature distribution of composites reinforced with pulse bending nanopaper in the process of reaches the steady state. The research shows three temperature distributions at each heating time, corresponding to one, three, and five bending cycles of the sheet. With the increase of heating time, the heat generated by the nanoscale paper heating sheet gradually diffused into the surrounding area, and the temperature in the region increased gradually. After a certain time, the change of temperature gradually stabilized.
