Wave propagation in rarefied gases

This thesis describes an investigation of the propagation of a pressure wave, through a long straight pipe, in a rarefied atmosphere of Argon. This phenomenon is approximately analogous to thermal wave propagation in the boundary scattering limit. Casimir and Ziman studied this latter phenomenon for...
