Abstract Gaseous flow encountered in micro/nano electromechanical systems experiences change in Kn number across a wide range of flow regime due to variation in characteristic length in the system and significant compressibility of the rarefied gas. In this study, we attempt to develop a general, physics-based model to predict the flow and heat transfer in the slip and transition regimes. Such an extension is constructed on the fact that Chapman-Enskog’s approximation of the Boltzmann equation can be revised using a function of Kn number as a perturbation. Velocity slip and temperature jump at the solid boundaries are modified accordingly. Rarefaction effects on dynamic viscosity and thermal conductivity are considered. As a first step to evaluate the model, it is applied to the simplest shear-driven flow, micro Couette flow. Compared with the results of DSMC, satisfactory agreement has been achieved in a wide range of Kn and Ma numbers.

Cylindrical Couette Flow

The solution of the field equations of the cylindrical Couette flow problem for a rarefied gas is found when the state of equilibrium between the cylinders is perturbed by the following small thermodynamic forces: (i) a pressure difference; (ii) an angular velocity difference; and (iii) a temperature difference. The flow is analyzed within the framework of continuum mechanics by using the field equations that follow from the balance equations of mass, momentum and energy of a viscous and heat conducting gas. These equations are solved analytically by considering slip and jump boundary conditions. The fields of density, velocity, temperature, heat flux vector and viscous stress tensor are calculated as functions of the Knudsen number and of the angular velocity of the rotating cylinders for each thermodynamic force. The asymptotic behaviors of these fields are compared with those obtained from a kinetic model of the Boltzmann equation. The influence of the slip and jump boundary conditions on the solutions is also discussed.
