On the Mathematical Analysis and Optimization of Chemical Vapor Infiltration in Materials Science
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 April 2002
Abstract
In this paper we present an analysis of the partial differential equations thatdescribe the Chemical Vapor Infiltration (CVI) processes. The mathematical modelrequires at least two partial differential equations, one describing thegas phase and one corresponding to the solid phase.A key difficulty in the process is the long processing times that are typicallyrequired. We address here the issue of optimization and show that we can chooseappropriate pressure and temperature to minimize these processing times.
