Convective heat transfer in the transitional rarefied flow regime is evaluated both numerically using the ES-BGK collision model and experimentally for freely suspended silicon beams. Results are compared to both empirically derived continuum correlations as well as analytical free-molecule solutions, demonstrating a monotonic nonlinear transition between the two regimes. Both horizontal and vertical orientations were explored in an effort to evaluate the potential influence of buoyancy on heat transfer performance. Results demonstrate that such effects are largely insignificant for transitional rarefied flows and convective thermal dissipation is instead driven by thermal creep phenomena.

Several modifications to physical vapor deposition (PVD) models are proposed to address the deficiencies in current theoretical studies. Simple calculations show that the flow regime of PVD fabrications will most likely vary from a continuum flow to a rarefied flow in the vacuum chamber as the vapor cloud expands toward the substrate. The flow regime for an evaporated ideal gas is calculated and then an improved equation of state is constructed and analyzed that more accurately describes vaporized metals. The result, combined with experimental observations, suggests PVD fabrication is best represented by a multi-regime flow. Then, a CFD analysis is summarized that further validates the multi-regime analysis hypothesis. Finally, a methodology for constructing and implementing the results of a theoretical multi-regime PVD model is presented.
