Talk:Knudsen flow

Merger needed?
This is the same as Free molecular flow, and the two should be merged 99.240.72.110 (talk) 20:12, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

Good point. The definitions (in the articles) appear equivalent (though the wordings differ). The terms might be interchangeable. (See wording in Knudsen equation.) Your observation requires some action, but no one has yet acted on it. I am not an expert, and not eager to research this right now to see whether to actually propose a merger. So I have linked the articles by adding a See-also entry in each. (This is the minimum action, surely safe because it is justified by the matching definitions.) -A876 (talk) 20:22, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

I agree that Knudson flow and Free molecular flow are the same and the articles should be merged. The value of the Knudson number where Knudson flow/free molecular flow occurs included in this article is incorrect: it should say it occurs when Kn is large (Kn > 10). This is also consistent with the Knudsen number article. Yasrena (talk) 17:30, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
