平行加热板间纳米物体的动量传递

Momentum Transfer to Nanoobjects between Parallel Heated Plates

Steffen Hardt, Sudarshan Tiwari, Axel Klar

摘要:

研究了不同温度下两平行板间充气间隙中的小尺度梯形刚体。推导出了在无限努森数下,作用在平行于板的方向上的力的解析表达式。同时,进行蒙特卡罗模拟,允许扩展到一阶的克努森数的分析。数值计算和解析结果显示出良好的一致性,表明正交于板的温度梯度可以在平行方向上引起显着的力。当考虑克努森数为1时,该力仅略微减小。在未来,发现的效果可能会被用于在纳米机器中将热能转换为机械能。

英文摘要:

A small-scale, trapezoidal rigid body in the gas-filled gap between two parallel plates at different temperatures is considered. An analytical expression for the force onto the body in the direction parallel to the plates valid for an infinite Knudsen number is derived. Simultaneously, Monte-Carlo simulations are performed allowing to extend the analysis to Knudsen numbers of the order of one. The numerical and the analytical results show excellent agreement, indicating that a temperature gradient orthogonal to the plates can induce a significant force in parallel direction. This force is only slightly reduced when a Knudsen number of one is considered. In the future, the discovered effect may be exploited for the conversion of thermal into mechanical energy in nanomachines.
