| Abstract | Despite the enormous scientific and technological importance of micro-channel gas flows, the understanding of these flows, by classical fluid mechanics, remains incomplete including the prediction of flow rates. In this paper, we revisit the problem of micro-channel compressible gas flows and show that the axial diffusion of mass engendered by the density (pressure) gradient becomes increasingly significant with increased Knudsen number compared to the pressure driven convection. The present theoretical treatment is based on a recently proposed modification (Durst et al. in Proceeding of the international symposium on turbulence, heat and mass transfer, Dubrovnik, 3–18 September, pp 25–29, 2006) of the Navier–Stokes equations that include the diffusion of mass caused by the density and temperature gradients. The theoretical predictions using the modified Navier–Stokes equations are found to be in good agreement with the available experimental data spanning the continuum, transition and free-molecular (Knudsen) flow regimes, without invoking the concept of Maxwellian wall-slip boundary condition. The simple theory also results in excellent agreement with the results of linearized Boltzmann equations and Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method. Finally, the theory explains the Knudsen minimum and suggests the design of future micro-channel flow experiments and their employment to complete the present days understanding of micro-channel flows. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
