Nonuniform Relaxation Problem for Mixtures and Effects of the Anomalous Heat Transfer

Investigations of the problem, which describes the nonequilibrium spatial structures (the problem has been formulated earlier for a single-component gas), are developed in two aspects. The first one is a possible application of the nontraditional heat properties for constructing the thermal micro-scale devices. The hypothetical scheme of the micro-refrigerator (for a single-component gas) based on the anomalous heat transfer in this nonequilibrium supersonic flow is proposed. The second one is a study of more complex structures obtained for a gas mixture. The problem for the Boltzmann equation is formulated and is solved by the direct numerical method.
