AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the relationship between vacuum levels and the condensation of water when using a vacuum pump at high temperatures, specifically 150 degrees Celsius. It questions how vacuum deviation in the test container correlates with the quantity of water extracted, suggesting a connection to the Ideal Gas Law (PV=nRT). Additionally, it explores whether low pressure and vacuum are synonymous and seeks clarification on the distinction between vacuum level and pressure level. Understanding these relationships is crucial for optimizing vacuum pump performance and water extraction efficiency. The conversation highlights the importance of thermodynamic principles in vacuum applications.

Hi

If a vacuum pump is operated on a test container (say at 150 degree C) and as a result at the outlet,water is condensed and collected. What would be the relation between Vacuum deviation in the test container and quatity of water extracted. Is it to do with Ideal gas equation, PV=nRT?

Thanks

Hi
Low pressure and vacuum are one and the same no? Is there any difference between vacuum level and pressure level?
 

Thread 'Why can't Solar panels be hemispherical, or a curved strip type?'

comparing a flat solar panel of area 2π r² and a hemisphere of the same area, the hemispherical solar panel would only occupy the area π r² of while the flat panel would occupy an entire 2π r² of land. wouldn't the hemispherical version have the same area of panel exposed to the sun, occupy less land space and can therefore increase the number of panels one land can have fitted? this would increase the power output proportionally as well. when I searched it up I wasn't satisfied with...
