Experimentally-Benchmarked kinetic simulations of heat transfer through rarefied gas with constant heat flux at the boundary

In many applications, the heat flux at surface is known instead of temperature. addition, in some like vacuum drying or high altitude flights, pressure below atmospheric pressure, so rarefaction effects become important, and therefore, Navier-Stokes-Fourier equations fail to predict gas thermal behavior. this paper, a constant boundary condition developed implemented frame Shakhov model kinetic equation, with possibility simulate diffuse-specular reflexion molecules from surface. The technique for simulation transfer two concentric cylinders configuration, similar used nuclear fuel canisters. numerical results obtained using approach are compared experimental data through rarefied between cylinders.
