Flow field of a rarified gas in the wake of cylindrical bodies over a wide range of Knudsen numbers
Abstract
In order to determine parameter distribution characteristics in the flow field of a rarefied gas behind the exit section of a source, experimental data must be obtained for various flow conditions. The present paper is concerned with the determination of one of the parameters, density, in flow of rarefied carbon dioxide issuing into a vacuum through cylindrical channels of varying length over a wide range of Knudsen numbers (up to 0.05). Details of the experimental procedure and results are presented.
