Interaction of a Leak Molecular Flow with a Microfiber Sensor Considering Size Effect

Resumo

The dynamic effect of a free molecular effusion-type flow from a leak on a microfiber sensor in the form of a spherical conglomerate of equiprobably spatially oriented fibers with their low volume concentration has been studied. An estimate of how the size effect (the ratio of the microfiber sensor radius to a characteristic linear dimension of the problem) influences the sensor dynamics is provided.
