Mass Transport Induced by Heat Current in Carbon Nanotubes

Figure 4

Average velocity versus heat current density for different chiralities, diameter, and lengths of CNTs. The heat current density is obtained by , where is the total heat flux injected from the heat bath to the system and is the area of cross section of CNTs, respectively. The mass density of He in (16,0) and (20, 0) is 16.6 amu/nm3.
