Laser-induced incandescence (LII) is used to measure the thermal accommodation coefficient between soot sampled from a well-characterized flame and various monatomic and polyatomic gases. These measurements show that the thermal accommodation coefficient between soot and monatomic gases increases with molecular mass due to the decreasing speed of incident gas molecules and corresponding decrease in surface deformation rate, and that energy is transferred preferentially from the surface to the translational mode of the polyatomic gas molecules over internal energy modes.

Energy Interchange

In previous papers of this series the problem of energy interchange between a gas atom and a solid has been discussed for the case when the gas atom makes a transition between two adsorbed states or between an adsorbed state and a free state. In this paper we shall discuss the case of a transition between two free states and apply the results to the determination of the thermal accommodation coefficient. In recent years a number of theoretical papers on this subject have appeared, following the new and accurate experimental work of Roberts, who worked with helium and neon on tungsten. The authors, however, neglect, or only roughly take into account, the attractive field which is known to exist between the solid and the gas; the fact that atoms become adsorbed on the surface is clear evidence of the existence of such a field. In this paper we shall suppose that the interaction potentials between solid and gas atom can be represented by a Morse potential function, for it has the right characteristics; in that it is attractive at large distances and repulsive at small ones, and has a minimum in between. The formulae of this paper are accordingly more general than previous ones and contain them as special cases. They are applicable to experimental results such as those of neon on tungsten for which earlier theories would not be adequate.

Thermal Accommodation Coefficient

Heat transfer through a 1 mm gap between two concentric cylinders representing the gap between a fuel support basket and a canister is experimentally and numerically investigated. The objective of this work is to study rarefied gas heat transfer in a simple geometry, and to measure the thermal accommodation coefficient at the interface between stainless steel and rarefied helium. The thermal accommodation coefficient is used to characterize the interaction between gas molecules and wall at the molecular level. It is important to determine its value with precision for better determination of heat transfer at low pressure. The experimental procedure consists of measuring the temperature difference between the inner and outer cylinders as the pressure is decreased in the gap. By knowing the heat flux across the gap the thermal accommodation coefficient can be extracted from the theoretical expression relating the temperature difference to the radial heat flux. Three-dimensional simulations using the ANSYS/Fluent commercial code are conducted to assess on the design of the experimental apparatus. These simulations confirmed that the apparatus design is effective to study the heat transfer across rarefied gas and to determine the thermal accommodation coefficient for helium on stainless steel surface.
