An Experimental and Numerical Study of the Final Zero-Flow Thermal Transpiration Stage

By just applying a temperature difference to a micro-system filled with rarefied gas, it is possible to engender a displacement or a compression of the gas in the temperature gradient direction. This is the Thermal Transpiration phenomenon. In the present work, thermal transpiration has been studied...
