    How to Calculate Work to produce a Vacuum?

    Hi, Thanks for all the advice, complicated subject isn't it.8-(( I will look up the links and see what I can learn. The connection to the motor will be via a 2.5" throw crank to the motor shaft. Good point about the leakage rate.8-)) Arnak

    Formula for Work to create a vacuum.

    Hi Jbriggs, Thanks for the input.8-)) So by my calculations :- W = 0.00001*(101325 - 84088) + 0.00001 * 84088 * ln(84088/101325) W = 0.87020288682 Joules. Please excuse my lack of knowledge of algebra but is the component ln the designation for the result of (Pnew/Pamb)? I have converted...

    Formula for Work to create a vacuum.

    Hi, Thanks for that formula.9-)) What units would the work be in please? Am I right in saying then that with a cylinder of 200 x 50mm V= 10000 mm3 Pressure difference = 2.5psi So 10000 x 2.5 = 25000 units?Arnak
