Abstract
Maxwell was one of the first to study the thermal slipping and radiometry effects. In particular, he suggested [1] that the thermal stresses which occur in a gas are important in an analysis of the radiometry effect. Interest in these problems has recently increased in connection with the problem of the slow motion of a strongly heated body in a gas. The paper by Galkin et al. [2], for example, is devoted to this question. However, the paper contains certain inaccuracies, and this means that the problem needs to be reconsidered. The present note describes the classification and the general characteristics of the types of motion and gives a statistical example of the state of a nonuniformly heated gas.
