Problems:
1. A chamber of 100 liters volume is pumped by a rotary pump of 250 liters / minute
through a conductance of 0.75 liters / second. Calculate the time required to pump
down to a pressure 1 x 10-3 torr.
Note: While calculating the surface area of the “O” rings that is exposed in the chamber,
assume that a nearly flat surface of 3 mm height of the O ring is exposed to the chamber.
