ABSTRACT
The phenomena that involve the rarefied gas dynamics for gas flow in micro-channels have been a source of study in several studies. The Boltzmann Equation describes such phenomena, and from its simplification comes the kinetic theory for the dynamics of rarefied gases. The kinetic models present reliable results and are analyzed in this study under an analytical version using the discrete ordinate method. Therefore, we explore a model closer to reality, comparing the numerical values generated by four kinetic models derived in a unified way from Boltzmann’s Linearized Equation. In terms of viscosity and thermal conductivity, the models are compared based on non-parametric statistics for problems with rarefied gas dynamics resulting from the mass transfer movement. Also, the gas-surface interaction defined by the Cercignani-Lampis nucleus along a channel for heterogeneous plates is used.
