Abstract

Approximation formulas are obtained for calculation of the gas flow rate in long isothermal microchannels. The quasi-gas-dynamic equations with Maxwell’s slip conditions are shown to predict a minimum in the flow rate within a channel that is called the Knudsen minimum. Corrections are proposed enabling derivation of approximate formulas for flow rates valid for any Knudsen number.
