Abstract
The mass flow rate through a micro/nano channel is calculated by a multiscale analysis when the thickness of the adsorbed layer on the channel wall is comparable to the channel height and the interfacial slippage on the adsorbed layer-wall surface interface occurs or not. The calculation is compared with that from conventional continuum flow theory. It is found that when the ratioKeywords
