Abstract: We propose a power-law based effective mean free path (MFP) model so that the Navier-Stokes-Fourier equations can be employed for the transition-regime flows typical of gas micro/nanodevices. The ...

Abstract: We investigate a model for microgas-flows consisting of the Navier–Stokes equations extended to include a description of molecular collisions with solid-boundaries together with first- and second-order ...
