On the Equations and Boundary Conditions Governing Phonon-Mediated Heat Transfer in the Small Mean Free Path Limit: An Asymptotic Solution of the Boltzmann Equation

Using an asymptotic solution procedure, we construct solutions of the Boltzmann transport equation in the relaxation-time approximation in the limit of small Knudsen number, Kn << 1, to obtain continuum equations and boundary conditions governing phonon-mediated heat transfer in this limit. Ou...
