TLDR
In this article, a review of the theory and measurements of transport processes between small particles and the surrounding gas is provided, and a growing body of evidence that accommodation coefficients are of order unity in many cases, but coefficients smaller than 0.01 are still reported.

Review of the methods to form hydrogen peroxide in electrical discharge plasma with liquid water

TL;DR: A review of the literature dealing with the formation of hydrogen peroxide from plasma processes can be found in this paper, where the authors present a review of a wide range of plasma processes from rf to pulsed, ac, and dc discharges directly in the liquid phase.

Expressions for the Evaporation and Condensation Coefficients in the Hertz-Knudsen Relation.

TL;DR: It is shown how seemingly small simplifications, such as assuming thermal equilibrium across the liquid-vapor interface during evaporation, can lead to the erroneous predictions from the HK relation that have been reported in the literature.

The Boltzmann equation and its applications

TL;DR: In this article, the Boltzmann Equation for rigid spheres is used to model the dynamics of a gas of rigid spheres in phase space and to solve the problem of flow and heat transfer in regions bounded by planes or cylinders.

On the Dynamical Theory of Gases

TL;DR: The theory of transport processes in gases, such as diffusion, heat conduction, and viscosity, is developed on the assumption that the molecules behave like point-centres of force as mentioned in this paper.

On the Resistance Experienced by Spheres in their Motion through Gases

TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived the force exerted by the impinging molecules leaving the surface depending on how they leave, assuming the usual Maxwellian distribution of velocities in the gas, the force was found to be M where M=(4π/3) Nma2cmV, N, m, a, and V being the number per unit volume, mass, radius, and mean speed of the molecules and V the speed of a droplet.

Slip correction measurements of spherical solid aerosol particles in an improved Millikan apparatus

TL;DR: A slip correction factor was used to correct Stokes' law for the fact that the no-slip boundary condition is violated for small aerosol particles moving with respect to the gaseous medium as discussed by the authors.
