Abstract High Knudsen (Kn) number flows are found in vacuum and micro-scale systems. Such flows are characterized by non-continuum behavior. For gases, the flows are usually in the slip or transition regimes. In this paper, the direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method has been applied to compute low pressure, high Kn flow fields in partially heated channels. Computations were carried out for nitrogen, argon, hydrogen, oxygen and noble gas mixtures. Variation of the Kn is obtained by reducing the pressure while keeping the channel width constant. Nonlinear pressure profiles along the channel centerline are observed. Heat transfer from the channel walls is also calculated and compared with the Graetz solution. The effects of varying pressure, inlet flow and gas transport properties (Kn, Reynolds number, Re and the Prandtl number, Pr respectively) on the wall heat transfer (Nu) were examined. A simplified correlation for predicting Nu¯ as a function of Pe¯ and Kn¯ is presented.

Abstract A fundamental understanding of how reactor parameters influence the fiber surface temperature is essential to manufacturing high quality optical fiber coatings by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). In an attempt to better understand this process, a finite volume model has been developed to study the gas flow and heat transfer of an optical fiber as it travels through a CVD reactor. This study showed that draw speed significantly affects fiber temperature inside the reactor, with temperature changes up to 45% observed under the conditions studied. Multiple heat transfer modes contribute to this phenomena, with convection heat transfer dominating the process.
