摘要:
Heat conduction through a rarefied gas contained between concentric cylinders is studied analytically. Emphasis is placed on the connection with the experimental determination of thermal accommodation coefficients by the low‐pressure method. The linearized BGK‐model equation is used, based on small relative temperature difference. Two coupled linear integral equations for the perturbed temperature and density are then formulated. An asymptotic analysis is carried out for the case of mean free path much greater than the inner but of the same order as the outer cylinder radius, which corresponds to typical operating conditions for experiments. The lowest‐order deviation of the heat flux from its free‐molecular value is ofO[ln(Kn)/Kn], the same as that obtained by Knudsen iteration. Numerical calculations are performed to find this term. It is found that for a mean free path 20 or more times the inner cylinder radius the relative error introduced by using the free‐molecular value for the heat flux is less than 5%, provided that the ratio of the mean free path to the outer cylinder radius is at least 0.2.
