Mathematical simulation of heat and mass transfer in a cylindrical channel versus the tangential momentum accommodation coefficient

Resumo

The process of heat and mass transfer in a long cylindrical channel has been considered in terms of the mirror–diffuse model of the Maxwell boundary condition. The Hazen–Williams equation is used as a basic equation of the process kinetics. A constant temperature gradient is maintained in the channel. The heat and mass fluxes through the cross section of the channel versus the tangential momentum accommodation coefficient have been calculated in a wide range of the Knudsen number. The heat flux profiles have been constructed. A comparison with relevant published data has been carried out.
