Molecular dynamics simulations of heat transfer between carbon nanotubes in a bundle and between a carbon nanotube and surrounding Lennard-Jones fluid were performed. The Brenner potential with the simplified form is employed as the potential function between carbon and carbon within a nanotube. The heat transfer rate can be well expressed by employing the thermal boundary resistance (TBR). The value of thermal boundary resistance is compared for the bundle and nanotube-LJ cases.
