SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the relationship between vacuum levels in a test container and the quantity of condensed water extracted when using a vacuum pump at 150 degrees Celsius. Participants confirm that the Ideal Gas Equation (PV=nRT) is relevant in understanding this relationship. Additionally, the conversation clarifies that low pressure and vacuum are synonymous, but there are distinctions between vacuum levels and pressure levels that merit further exploration.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the Ideal Gas Law (PV=nRT)
  • Knowledge of vacuum pump operation principles
  • Familiarity with condensation processes in thermodynamics
  • Basic concepts of pressure measurement and vacuum levels
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the application of the Ideal Gas Law in vacuum systems
  • Explore the principles of condensation in thermodynamic processes
  • Learn about different types of vacuum pumps and their operational characteristics
  • Investigate pressure measurement techniques and their relevance to vacuum levels
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, thermodynamic researchers, and professionals working with vacuum systems or condensation processes will benefit from this discussion.

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?
