Abstract

The performance and thermal resistance of cooling devices in a laser ablation setup for carbon nanotube (CNT) synthesis are investigated using heat transfer equations and for three cooling designs. This has a direct technological goal with the simulation of the cooling device in laser ablation setups as a collector of carbon nanotubes. Since the collector is a place for CNT growth, its temperature has a significant influence on the quality of the synthesized CNTs. In order to design the best device, the temperature of the flowing water and the metal of three different cooling devices have been compared together. In order to select the most appropriate device, in addition to quality, the low price and the ease of construction are taken into account.
