Molecule Flow

An analysis has been carried out to determine the local and overall heat-transfer rates, the adiabatic wall temperature, and the forces exerted when a high-speed, free-molecule flow is incident on a concave cylindrical surface. The flow may impinge on the surface at an arbitrary angle of attack. Additionally, the thermal accommodation coefficient may be arbitrary, and the degree of concavity of the surface may be varied at will from a semicircular cross section to a relatively flat circular arc. The concavity causes molecules to interreflect back and forth between surface elements. Even with the interreflections, the heat-transfer rate continues to depend linearly on the difference between the wall temperature and the adiabatic wall temperature. The interreflections are found to have a greater effect on both the heat transfer and the force results as the accommodation co-efficient decreases and as the degree of concavity and the angle of attack increase.

A method is presented for calculating the conductive heat transfer through gases contained between two concentric cylinders. The method of Lees and Liu is extended to include incomplete thermal accommodation at the inner cylindrical surface, and a comparison is made between the two methods. These results are then compared to those of the low pressure and temperature jump methods. On the basis of this analysis, limits are obtained for the free-molecule, transition, temperature jump, and continuum regimes.
