Abstrakt: We outline a surface scattering kernel for rarefied gas flows through ideally ordered nanomaterials, such as high aspect ratio carbon nanotubes. The derived model allows for a comparison of the tangential momentum accommodation coefficient, and, hence, the total effective friction, for different species of gases as a function of the particle diameter. This surface kernel is incorporated with a Fokker–Planck model as an approximation to transport of a rarefied gas through ideally ordered carbon nanotubes. The results of this analysis predict that H 2 experiences higher friction in such systems in comparison with larger molecules such as C H 4 . The results are proposed as a potential explanation of the reduced gas transport of hydrogen gas in nanoporous systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
