Abstract

Current paper focuses on the influence of carbon nanotube (CNT) length on its thermal conductivity. The powerful technique which is molecular modeling was used. The non-equilibrium molecular dynamics was implemented in commercially available software. The eight single-walled carbon nanotubes from 50 nm to 400 nm was investigated. The obtained results show the trend of increasing thermal conductivity for longer nanotubes.
