Foundations of Molecular-Flow Networks for Vacuum System Analysis

Foundations of Molecular-Flow Networks for Vacuum System Analysis is the only book which covers desorption, adsorption, and outgassing in relation to molecular-flow networks. This book will be beneficial for academics, students and industry personnel working in field of ultra-high vacuum/vacuum for designing the equipment/set-up, as well as understanding the several processes related to vacuum. This book is fully supported with equations and case studies from industry. Prof Yoshimura brings to this book a lifetime's experience of working on vacuum technology in industry and academia.

Vacuum technology is extensively used in large synchrotrons and other large accelerators, as well as in many other smaller industrial and scientific facilities. Many of these systems, are not easy to simulate and therefore to foresee its pressure evolution and gas flow through its connections. Since most of such vacuum systems operate under molecular flow, this book will help engineers and scientists to properly model the system with electrical equivalents enabling its simulation with electrical circuits simulators.

• Explains how to design, model and simulate vacuum systems to obtain satisfactory pressure distributions
• Offers a practical description of the molecular flow providing techniques to design molecular flow networks of vacuum systems and processes
• Explores equivalence with electrical components to help readers with simulation using free software such as LTSPICE
