Effects of the Wall Temperature on Rarefied Gas Flows and Heat Transfer in a Micro-Nozzle. [PDF]
When the satellite is in orbit, the thruster will experience drastic temperature changes (100–1000 K) under solar radiation, which will affect the rarefied gas flow state in the micro-nozzle structure of the cold gas micro-thruster.

Numerical Investigations of Rarefied Gas Flows Using the Continuum Description by the CIP Method
Rarefied gas flows in the slip regime are investigated by the CIP method. The two-dimensional Couette/Poiseuille flows and two/three-dimensional rid-driven cavity flows are calculated using the Navier-Stokes (N-S) equation with the Maxwell's ...

Analytical and numerical analysis of nonisothermal compressible rarefied gas flow between parallel plates [PDF]
When dimensions of the flow domain become small, such as in the micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) and nano-electro-mechanical systems (NEMS), rarefaction effects become more prominent.
