Measurement of the Thermal Diffusivity of Carbon/Carbon Fibre Composites from 300-3000K.

Abstract

Thermal diffusivity measurements have been made using the heat pulse method on three 3-D carbon fibre carbon composites, three 1-D carbon fibre carbon composites from fibres 'F' and 'A' and matrix graphite. Thermal conductivity has been calculated from these results and a model outlined which predicts the thermal conductivity of a 3-D composite from the processed conductivities of the constituents.
