A rarefied gas flow through a finite-length channel into a vacuum is studied by the direct simulation Monte Carlo method. The mass flow rate through the channel is calculated over the wide range of gas rarefactions. The analysis of the flow field, both within the channel and in upstream and downstream containers, is presented.
