  • Title: Energy accommodation coefficient extracted from acoustic resonator experiments.
    Author: Sharipov F, Moldover MR.
    Journal: J Vac Sci Technol A; 2016 Nov; 34(6):. PubMed ID: 28970648.
    Abstract:
    We review values of the temperature jump coefficient ζT determined from measurements of the acoustic resonance frequencies facoust of helium-filled and argon-filled, spherical cavities near ambient temperature. We combine these values of ζT with literature data for tangential momentum accommodation coefficient (TMAC) and the Cercignani-Lampis model of the gas-surface interaction to obtain measurement-derived values of the normal energy accommodation coefficient (NEAC). We found that NEAC ranges from 0 to 0.1 for helium and from 0.61 to 0.85 for argon at ambient temperature for several different surfaces. We suggest that measurements of facoust of gas-filled, cylindrical cavities and of the non-radial modes of quasi-spherical cavities might separately determine TMAC and NEAC. Alternatively, TMAC and NEAC could be determined by measuring the heat transfer and momentum transfer between parallel rotating discs at low pressure.
