“…One approach is based on the classical equations of transport [11][12][13]16,17]. For example, Langhoff and Schnak [17] modeled the CVI of pyrolytic carbon as a moving boundary problem, in order to determine the evolution of the structure of the pyrolytic carbon layer, using a onedimensional continuum model. Such an approach can neither take into account the effect of the morphology of the pore space, i.e., its pore size distribution (PSD) and pore interconnectivity, on the transport of the gases, nor can it be predictive quantitatively, unless several adjustable parameters are introduced into the model.…”
