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 'Ramjet effect on drone'

I am following someone on Youtube who has built a rocket shaped (4 proprllers) drone for the world speed record ... He was having problems with internal heat from electical control gear and battery inside the sealed rocket (about 1kw waste heat) Speed is 500km/hr , I suggested a 4mm hole in the tip of the nose and 8mm hole at rear which should alow sufficient air cooling .. I said this will increase thrust because the air exiting is hotter .. a bit similar to a ram jet ... was I correct...

Thread 'Why would an atmosphere without greenhouse gasses be colder than with them?'

Quick question that I haven't been able to find the answer to. Greenhouse gasses both warm and cool the atmosphere by slowing heat loss to space. But what would happen without GHGs? I read that the earth would be colder (though still relatively warm), but why? Without GHGs the atmosphere would still be a similar mass and still warmed by conduction from the surface, yet without a means to radiate that heat to space. Why wouldn't the atmosphere accumulate heat over time, becoming warmer? How...
