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.

Additional information

Given on spring semester 1st period, every two years starting spring 2019
