RAREFIED GAS FLOW THROUGH A SHORT TUBE AND THIN ORIFICE

The applet provides the mass flow rate of a rarefied gas through a short tube and thin orifice. The details can be found in the paper 1 and paper 2. If you have questions or suggestions to improve the applet, please write me: sharipov@fisica.ufpr.br
