The steady-state heat transfer problem between two parallel plates is investigated using kinetic models of the Boltzmann equation: BGK, S-model and ES-model. The discrete velocity method is used to determine the values of physical parameters: density, bulk velocity, temperature and heat flux. The obtained results are compared with the analytical expressions and some experimental data.
