The motivation of the current paper is to provide a detailed review of crucial topics in micro-
and nanoscale gas flows, ie, velocity slip and temperature jump phenomena and their …

The Knudsen pump (KP) is a kind of micro-pump that can form thermally induced flows
induced by temperature fields in rarefied gas environments. It has the advantages of having …

We derive the continuum equations and boundary conditions governing phonon-mediated
heat transfer in the limit of a small but finite mean-free path from the asymptotic solution of …

Thermal transpiration pumping in multistage assemblies is computationally investigated.
Each stage is formed by combining in series-long microchannels with (a) uniform–uniform …

The moment method is a successful way to approximate the solution of the Boltzmann
equation in reasonable runtime with relatively few unknowns while allowing for non …

The flow of gases through channels generated by a temperature gradient along the channel
surfaces is analyzed. This flow is characterized by the Thermomolecular Pressure Difference …

Flow of a rarefied gas through a cylindrical tube connecting two reservoirs maintained at a
small pressure difference is considered using the axisymmetric version of the linearised …
