3. 3.1 Flow Regime (1)
3
• Flow Regime: Flow that through all different type of flow (because
vacuum system)
• Vacuum system start form turbulent flow ,when pressure fall flow
change to laminar flow. Both flow are viscous ; molecules striking each
other and pushing each other
• Transition from turbulent to viscous flow depend on Reynold number;
which function of flow velocity, mass density, tube diameter

L=mean free path ;mfp [L1]
d=characteristic dimension of the system [L1]
• In viscous flow mfp< character dimension ; gas
to gas collision ; Kn <0.01
• If pressure reduce then mpf = characteristic
dimension; gas to wall interaction
• In region 1>Kn>0.01 transition region;
• Kn>1 Flow considered molecular flow; In
molecular flow gas –wall collision predominate,
The wall interaction is diffuse reflection
5. Molecular interaction with surface
Diffuse reflectance . The length of the arrow for desorption
is proportional to the probability of desorption in
that direction
5
Specular reflectance: The angle of reflection equals the
angle of incidence
Example Flashlight to mirror
Cosine distribution
Example Flashlight to wall with mate finish
Wrong: ping pong ball bouncing in the table
Right : Glue many ping pong ball on a table
And attempt to bounce to another surface
Wrong: Incoming ball is very large compare
to roughness of surface
Right : Consider that molecule do not bounce.
Consider absorption, there resident time and desorbs
Molecular interaction with surface
6. Molecular flow
Molecular Flow; random traversing back & forth
of the molecules from wall to wall with progress
of molecules through the vacuum lines a matter
of statistics
Molecule arriving from region 1 move region 2
To gases not collide effected one and another
Higher gas density region 1
More molecule move right than to left

7. 3.2 Definition of Throughput and Pumping Speed
7
The rate flow trough the passage is depends on
-Capacity of the pump
-Geometrical shape
-Type of flow
-Gas Characteristic
Gas Flow rate – Mass Flow Rate Q
- Volumetric Flow Rate S
Mass Flow Rate Q or Throughput
The net number of molecules passing a given plane per unit time
Unit : pressure volume per unit time, example torr-liter per second
8. 8
Steady state condition : the pressure at given location not changing
as function of time
Pseudo-Steady state condition: no leak valve but gas evolving from the walls
act similar to leak valve
9. Volumetric flow Rate
Volumetric flow Rate S or pumping Speed: the actual amount of substance
which moved a distance d is not specify size that depends on Pressure
9
Unit volumetric flow is volume per unit time example liter/sec
Volumetric flow rate and mass flow rate are related to pressure by equation

10. 3.3 Conductance
10
• 3.3.1Definition
Conductance property of component which usually fills a certain amount
of three dimensional space whereas volumetric flow rate is property of a
position in space ( plane)

푃1 − 푃2
Unit for Conductance same as volumetric flow is volume per unit time
example liter/sec
