Abstract

The transfer of heat by forced convection from a hot wire in a low Mach number rarefied gas stream is investigated for small Reynolds numbers. A simple expression is found for the Nusselt number, and it is suggested that this has reasonable validity over a wide range of Knudsen numbers, even into the free-molecule flow régime.
