Thermal and second-law analysis of a micro- or nanocavity using direct-simulation Monte Carlo
Thermal and second-law analysis of a micro- or nanocavity using direct-simulation Monte Carlo
In this study the direct-simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method is utilized to investigate thermal characteristics of micro- or nanocavity flow. The rarefied cavity flow shows unconventional behaviors which cannot be predicted by the Fourier law, the constitutive relation for the continuum heat transfer. Our analysis in this study confirms some …
