Course objectives
It is the purpose of this lecture to give an introduction to vacuum technology. The lecture is divided into four parts. In the first part the definition of vacuum, fields of its application and importance are discussed. The second part of the lecture concentrates on the theory of free gases in the static as well as dynamic state, gas flow and conductance of vacuum parts. In the third part the attention is paid to the production of low pressures with the help of transport pumps (piston, rotary, Root's, molecular and difusion pumps). The fourth part is devoted to the techniques of total pressure measurement.
Syllabus
  • 1. Introduction: vacuum definition, importance of high vacuum for science, technology and industry, field of its application 2. Free gases: free gases in the static state, free gases in the dynamic state, gas flow, vacuum conductance, gas flow through orifices 3. Transport pumps: mechanical pump (piston, rotary, Root's), pumps working with the momentum transfer (molecular and difusion pumps) 4. Measurement of total pressures: mechanical, compression, thermal, viscosity (molecular) and ionization gauges
