N2 - Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) analysis of microfilter elements for collection of airborne particles is considered in this paper. Three filter elements with different dimensions were simulated. Boundary conditions were chosen to simulate an array of filters. Our results indicate that, as the filter gets smaller, the slip flow will be critical in determining flow characteristics. The change in the flow rate and the characteristics of the flow in different dimensions are investigated.
