English, Finnish
Responsible organisation:
Department of Physics
Curriculum periods:
2017-2018, 2018-2019, 2019-2020
Description
Content
Kinetic gas theory, transport phenomena and gas flow regimes, surface phenomena; vacuum pumps, vacuum gauges, vacuum apparatus, leak detection; vacuum technology applications
Completion methods
Discussions and interactive events, laboratory work, written assignments, demonstrations, examination
Assessment details
Active participation to laboratory work and demonstrations is a requirement for grading. The final grade is based on examination (60 %), assignments (20 %), written assignments (10 %) and laboratory work (10 %).
Learning outcomes
At the end of this course, students will be able to describe basics of rarefied gas theory, transport phenomena in residual gas, gas flow regimes, surface phenomena. Students will be able to plan and build a simple vacuum system depending on the planned application as well as work with applications were vacuum systems are needed.
