Abstract
The behavior of a slightly rarefied gas mixture bounded by plane boundaries is investigated on the basis of the linearized Boltzmann equation ofB-G-K type for gas mixtures under the diffusive boundary condition. A useful result of the present analysis is that the macroscopic equations and the appropriate boundary conditions in terms of slip and jump are obtained together with the Knudsen-layer corrections near the boundaries. This system of equations makes possible the treatment at fluid dynamic level for various problems of gas mixtures with plane geometry which require kinetic theory consideration. As an application of this system, some basic flow problems of a slightly rarefied gas mixture, namely, Couette flow, thermal slip flow and diffusion slip flow between two plates are taken up. The total velocity distributions of these concrete problems are explicitly obtained for the first time, and their dependence on the properties and concentration of the component gases in the mixture are clarified in some detail.
