Two-dimensional carbon/carbon composites were densified with carbon by pyrolysis of propane using the pulse chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) process which repeats the cycle of evacuation and introduction of gas. The experimental parameters were deposition temperature, reactant gas concentration, fl

β¦ Synopsis
An analysis of the reaction and diffusion of gases occurring simuitaneously with deposition of carbon in a porous material is presented. The model incorporates a scheme for the formation of carbon during the pyrolysis of a gaseous hydrocarbon to yield predictions for concentration and porosity profiles and mass deposition within a porous substrate. The effects of the initial Thiele modulus for the deposition reaction were examined and it was found that as the initial Thiele modulus increased, the uniformity of deposition and the maximum level of infiltration decreased.

Results are interpreted in terms of the influence of the above fact
