Various papers on the physical phenomena involved in rarefied gas dynamics are presented. Individual topics addressed include: inelastic collision models for Monte Carlo simulation computation, nitrogen rotation relaxation time measured in freejets, rate constants for R-T relaxation of N{sub 2} in argon supersonic jets, diffusion and energy transfer in gases containing CO{sub 2}, freejet expansion of heavy hydrocarbon vapor, optical diagnostics of low-density flowfields, electron beam fluorescence measurements of nitric oxide, measurements of freejet densities by laser beam deviation, velocity distribution function in nozzle beams, cryogenic pumping speed for a freejet in the scattering regime, effectiveness of a parallel plate arrangement as a cryogenic pumping device, motion of a Knudsen particle through a shock wave, homogeneous condensation in water-vapor freejets, MD-study of dynamic-statistic properties of small clusters, molecular dynamics studies on condensation process of argon.
