ON AERODYNAMICS OF RAREFIED GASES AND PROBLEMS OF HEAT TRANSFER

Journal Article · · Intern. J. Heat and Mass Transfer

Poor agreement between experimental dath and theoretical expressions for acoustic dispersion in a rarefied gas which are obtained on the basis of the Burnett and superBurnett solutions of the Boltzmann equation is shown; the classical theory based on the Navier-Stokes hydrodynamics brings more successful results. The above-mentioned appears to be valid also when considering a temperature jump and slip. Contradictions between the Euler equations and the molecular-kinetic theory are also revealed while considering the conformability of these equations to the rarefied gas. The generalization of the Euler equations is fulfilled by introducing a parameter of non-ideal continuity. (auth)
