Siloxanes: A new class of candidate Bethe-Zel'dovich-Thompson fluids
This paper presents a new class of Bethe-Zel'dovich-Thompson fluids, which are expected to exhibit nonclassical gasdynamic behavior in the single-phase vapor region. These are the linear and cyclic si...

In this paper, a first-order slip boundary condition is derived using the Chapman-Enskog solution of the Boltzmann equation. In comparison with the existing slip models such as first, second, and 1.5-order slip models, the Poiseuille flow rate predicted by the new slip model shows better agreement with that calculated by the linearized Boltzmann equation. The slip boundary condition is also applied to predict the pressure field in gas lubrication problems. ©2007 American Institute of Physics
