Mathematical Modelling Time Dependent for Heat Transfer Process in Homogenous Composite ZnO/Activated CNF

Abstract

Abstract A theoretical study of heat transfer on composite Zinc Oxide (ZnO)/Activated Carbon Nanofibers (CNF) by using mathematical model from diffusion equation for stationary composite with various heating time was studied. The equation and boundary conditions are interpreted by using Taylor series expansion to obtain a steady-state numerical solution from the Jacobi iteration algorithm. The composites where put inside the furnace model by filaments on the two sides of the walls as the source of heat (general model for furnace). By using this model, the position of sample to receive the homogeneous temperature determined. We compared the steady-state and unsteady-state conditions to identify the temperature distribution at real-time. The results show that the heat distribution will reach an asymptotic state by performing a numerical analysis is 200 K and 300 K for 25 minute time of heating. In this study, shows the efficient way for annealing homogenous materials to identify the position inside the furnace which can be used as a guide to receive the homogenous temperature during the annealing processes.
