Design Study of a Rarefied Gas Dynamics and Heat Transfer Chamber

Abstract

A method for the design of a high vacuum enclosure was developed. The method utilizes design procedures recommended by the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code where directly applicable. Certain components, which are not adequately covered by the code, are designed by elementary stress analysis. The design method was developed and applied to a specific design, a rarefied gas dynamics and heat transfer chamber.
