Understand how gases behave at very low pressures in high‑vacuum work. This edition compiles experiments, data, and practical insights into adsorption, gas sorption on charcoal, and the factors that influence vacuum measurements and measurement accuracy. It covers foundational experiments, interpretation of results, and the behavior of different gases under extreme conditions, helping researchers plan and interpret high‑vacuum experiments.
Readers gain a clear view of the relationships between pressure, adsorbed volume, and temperature. The text presents graphical data, tables, and discussion of how adsorption changes with gas type and operating temperature, plus historical notes on key methods and researchers in the field.
Ideal for readers of technical vacuum manuals, laboratory researchers, and students seeking a solid, data‑driven background in gas adsorption and high‑vacuum measurements.

Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the fascinating world of high vacua, a realm of extremely low pressure once considered a mere scientific curiosity. The author delves into the historical context of vacuum research, starting with Torricelli's discovery of the "Torricellian vacuum" and the invention of the first mechanical air pump by Otto von Guericke. The book then traces the evolution of vacuum technology through the development of the incandescent light bulb and the groundbreaking work of physicists like J.J. Thomson, who first identified the electron. The book uses the kinetic theory of gases, a theoretical framework that explains gas behavior at the molecular level, to provide a clear understanding of the phenomena associated with high vacua. The author explores how this theory can be applied to calculate the velocities of gas molecules, their average free paths, and their collision frequency. The book also delves into the relationship between gas viscosity and pressure and the applications of this knowledge for understanding heat conductivity and diffusion. The author goes beyond the theoretical to discuss the practical implications of high vacua, including its use in the development of hot cathode X-ray tubes and other important technological innovations. The book explores methods for producing high vacua, including the use of various pumps and the process of "clean-up," which removes residual gases. The book offers a valuable resource for anyone interested in the scientific and technological advancements that have shaped our understanding of matter and energy, revealing the profound impact of high vacua on a wide range of scientific fields. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781333481742_0
