An accessible and applicable guide to quantitative problem solving in vacuum technology, this book is aimed at newcomers, students and the experienced practitioner. It contains essential information and worked examples for those using vacuum technology in chemical applications and who are involved in the design and operation of vacuum equipment. Using step by step solutions of example calculations and formulae, Vacuum Technology: Calculations in Chemistry sets out to encourage readers to quantify their own systems so that they can ensure efficient operation and fault finding. Whilst emphasising the use of appropriate units in calculations and using well known expressions in vacuum technology throughout, the book includes: * formulae necessary for quantitative vacuum technology * commonly required data for common gases in tabulated form * schematic diagrams of systems and layouts This book is certain to be a confidence inspiring publication for use in both research and industry.

Industry Reviews

"... the real distinguishing feature and strength of the book ... is the numerical calculations ... which occupy a large fraction of the text. These are used to exemplify the relevant mathematical formulas that are used in this area of technology and include many very practical problems, which everyday confront practitioners in the field. I have not seen any other concise textbook that is so useful in this respect."

* Chemical Educator, Vol 8, No 2, 2003, p 233 *

"This reader-friendly text presents the necessary theoretical information prior to stepping into the details of a calculation and therefore makes it easier to follow. Congratulations on this excellent contribution to teaching vacuum calculations."

* Dr. Wolfgang Schwarz, ALD Vacuum Technologies, Germany *
