Abstract :Nanotechnology, with its gigantic nature, has broken the boundaries of different branches of science and provided the basis for using the results and possibilities in many areas to improve the quality of life. This approach will help you systematically investigate the impact of volume percentage and aspect ratio on the thermal conductivity coefficient of carbon nanotube nanoparticles within a Representative Volume Elements (RVE) using Monte Carlo simulations in MATLAB. The aim of this study was to model the thermal conductivity of a polyethylene-based composite reinforced with helical carbon nanotubes using the finite element method. It shows that the heat conduction coefficient value increases with the increase in the volume percentage, aspect ratio, and radius of helical nanoparticles, and this increase is the most effective factor for the volume percentage between 0.73% and 9.5%.
