Aerospace | 1. A given space filled with gas at pressures below atmospheric pressure. Various approximate ranges are: low vacuum, torr 760 to 25; medium vacuum, torr 25 to 10-3; high vacuum, torr 10-3 to 10-6; very high vacuum, torr 10-6 to 10-9; ultrahigh vacuum, torr 10-9 and below.2. In reference to satellite orbital parameters, without consideration of the perturbing effects of an atmosphere, as in vacuum perigee, vacuum apogee. (references) |
Literature | Vacuum now means a space from which air has been expelled. Descartes says, "If a vacuum could be effected in a vessel the sides would be pressed into contact." Galileo said, "Nature abhors a vacuum," to account for the rise of water in pumps. (See Point .). Source: Brewer's Dictionary. |

Vacuum cleaner is located elsewhere. Please consider fixing the link that led you here.
A vacuum is the absence of matter (molecules, atoms...) in a volume of space. A partial vacuum can be measured in pascal (Pa) or torr, or as a percentage of atmospheric pressure using the bar or barometer scale.
Degrees of vacuum
- atmospheric pressure = 760 torr or 100kPa
- vacuum cleaner = around 300 torr or 40kPa
- mechanical vacuum pump = around 10 millitorr or 1.3mPa
- near earth outer space = around 1 x 10-6 torr or 130μPa
- pressure on the Moon = around 1 x 10-8 torr or 1.3μPa
- interstellar space = around 1 x 10-10 torr or 13nPa
Creating a vacuum
When creating a partial vacuum, the matter in the volume being evacuated flows differently at different pressures based on the laws of fluid mechanics. Initially a vacuum pump can be used to remove the material, as the molecules are interacting with each other and will push on their neighboring molecules in what is known as viscous flow. When the distance between the molecules increases, the molecules interact with the walls of the chamber more often than the other molecules, and compression pumping is no longer effective.At this stage, we have entered a state called molecular flow, where the directionality of each molecule is basically random. Three basic ways to remove the remaining gas are by converting the molecules of gas to their solid phase (by freezing them, called cryopumping or cryotrapping), converting them to solids by electrically combining them with other materials (ion pumping) or using a specialized machine called a turbomolecular pump or diffusion pump.
At lower pressures, outgassing of the vacuum vessel occurs over time, so that the generation of an instantaneous high vacuum in a hermetically sealed container does not ensure that an adequately low pressure will continue unless outgassing has been accounted for. Heating the vacuum vessel will accelerate outgassing. Even materials which are not naively considered absorbent will outgas. Water vapor is a primary outgas component, even in hard metal vessels (such as stainless steel or titanium). Outgassing can be reduced by desiccation prior to vacuum pumping. Vessels lined with a highly gas-permeable material such as palladium (which is a high-capacity hydrogen sponge) create special outgassing problems.
The quantum-mechanical vacuum
Quantum physics reveals that a vacuum isn't really empty. One reason is that the walls of the vacuum chamber will inevitably emit light: visible light if they are at a temperature or thousands of degrees, or perhaps infrared light if they are cooler. This soup of photons will be in thermodynamic equilibrium with the walls, and we may therefore speak of a vacuum that is at a particular temperature. More fundamentally, there are quantum-mechanical fluctuations in the vacuum, which may be responsible for the observed value of the cosmological constant.See also sucking.
