Abstract
Results obtained by accurate analytical methods applied to the problem of molecular-gas slip over a rigid spherical surface are reported. The Boltzmann equation is modified to take into account rotational degrees of freedom in the BGK model is used as a master kinetic equation. The calculated slip coefficients are shown to depend on the Prandtl number and on the gas temperature. Slip coefficients for several molecular gases are plotted as functions of temperature.
