The motion of a sphere in a rarefied gas is considered with the use of the BGK model and a boundary condition of diffuse reflection. The role of temperature variation in the Knudsen layer is studied; results show that velocity and pressure in the layer and the drag on the sphere are not sensitive to this variation.
