| Abstract: | A recently proposed steady-state isothermal model for chemical vapor infiltration in parallel cylindrical pores has been extended to include transient behavior. Availability of a time-dependent solution should prove useful in comparison with experimental data and validation of the assumed boundary conditions. Attention is also drawn to analogous problems in the heat transfer literature which may prove useful in development of enhanced vapor infiltration models of this class. |
