Vacuum Technique

Vacuum Technique presents a comprehensive treatment of vacuum technology. It gives an overview of low-pressure gases and discusses the theory of vacuum technology and mathematical modeling of gas transfer in vacuum systems. The author presents explanations of specific problems in favor of describing different vacuum elements, including the computer-aided synthesis and analysis of vacuum systems. The book includes different design methods and presents the structure and characteristics of vacuum systems for low, middle, high and superhigh vacuums. It also discusses the characteristics of materials, joints, movement inputs, and all aspects of production technology and construction standards.

Professor L N Rozanov is Head of the Department of Information Machinery Technology of St Petersburg Technical University. His research interests include adsorption pumps, leak detection and computer-aided design of vacum systems.
