Laser-induced incandescence (LII) is used to measure the thermal accommodation coefficient between soot sampled from a well-characterized flame and various monatomic and polyatomic gases. These measurements show that the thermal accommodation coefficient between soot and monatomic gases increases with molecular mass due to the decreasing speed of incident gas molecules and corresponding decrease in surface deformation rate, and that energy is transferred preferentially from the surface to the translational mode of the polyatomic gas molecules over internal energy modes.

The thermal conductances in a collisionless gas between coaxial cylinders and concentric spheres have been obtained for arbitrary thermal accommodation coefficients. This exact theory is based on the general theory of thermal conduction of collisionless gas developed recently by Wu which has been established according to his revised theory of thermal transpiration. The classical theory of thermal conductance between coaxial cylinders by Knudsen and Von Smoluchowski is only accurate to the first power of the temperature difference in which the velocity distribution in the system is assumed to be nearly Maxwellian. However, in the present paper, it is unnecessary to make this usual assumption and the exact theory has been established according to the revised theory of thermal transpiration.
