Abstract Simple and accurate expressions for the velocity slip coefficient, the slip in the thermal creep, and the temperature jump coefficient are obtained by applying a variational technique to the linearized Boltzmann equation for a simple gas. Completely general forms of the boundary conditions are used, and the final results are presented in a form such that the results for any particular intermolecular force law or the gas-surface interaction law can easily be calculated. Further, it is shown that, with little extra effort, the present results can be easily extended to include the case of a polyatomic gas. It is felt that the present work, together with a recent paper in which the author has considered the solutions of the linearized Boltzmann equation for a monatomic multicomponent gas mixture, provide the desired basis for the consideration of the various slip problems associated with the polyatomic gas mixtures.
