Highly rarefied gas flow through a right-angled micro-corner
The two-dimensional steady flow of a highly rarefied gas through a right-angled corner element is studied, based on the Boltzmann kinetic model and the Maxwell wall conditions. Closed-form expressions for the mass flow rate through the corner are derived, indicating a decrease of more than 40% in its mass transfer permeability due to the bend, compared with a straight channel configuration.
