Abstract

The dusty-gas model has been extended to the case of nanoporous media, in which the action of surface forces must be taken into account. A basic set of transport equations underlying the model has been derived proceeding from a set of kinetic equations for an ordinary gas and dust particles. In the kinetic equations, the interaction between the gas and dust particles is represented as a sum of a long-range (analog of surface forces) and short-range components. The contribution of the long-range component has been taken into account in the self-consistent approximation, while the short-range component has been considered in the standard manner. Allowance for the surface forces has been shown to result in a substantial modification of the equation for gas transport through porous bodies, with this modification being most pronounced at nonuniform temperatures.
