  • Vacuum – Nothing but Pressure
    By Mike Tuohey, Sales & Marketing Communications Manager, Piab USA Inc. Vacuum – nothing but pressure According to the dictionary, vacuum is a space completely empty of substance. Yet, in engineering, vacuum is employed for a number of tasks. So, how can nothing be utilized to do something? Well, without pressure it wouldn’t work. Vacuum is an ideal and elusive state, and from a practical point of view it is perhaps not necessary to use this theoretical term, once a hot topic among philosophers in ancient Greece, especially since most modern thinkers agree that a complete or perfect vacuum does not exist. Even if all matter could be removed from a volume, it would still not be empty due to dark energy, rays, neutrinos and other phenomena in quantum physics. However, in particle physics, the vacuum state is considered the basic state of matter. In applied physics and engineering, on the other hand, it is probably more helpful to view vacuum as a negative pressure, as this is the force that can be harnessed to do work. The pressure controlled by a vacuum pump can be a powerful force. In a vacuum system, it is the differential between the atmospheric pressure and the vacuum (negative) pressure that creates the ability to lift, hold, move, and perform many types of work. Atmospheric pressure – the pressure we’re all under Atmospheric pressure is the pressure of the weight of the air above us. A cross section of a column of air, measured from sea level to the top of the atmosphere, would exert a pressure of approximately 14.7 pounds per square inch (psi).

    1 Glossary Physics (I-introduction) - Efficiency: The percent of the work put into a machine that is converted into useful work output; = work done / energy used [-]. = eta In machines: The work output of any machine cannot exceed the work input (<=100%); in an ideal machine, where no energy is transformed into heat: work(input) = work(output), =100%. Energy: The property of a system that enables it to do work. Conservation o. E.: Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it may be transformed from one form into another, but the total amount of energy never changes. Equilibrium: The state of an object when not acted upon by a net force or net torque; an object in equilibrium may be at rest or moving at uniform velocity - not accelerating. Mechanical E.: The state of an object or system of objects for which any impressed forces cancels to zero and no acceleration occurs. Dynamic E.: Object is moving without experiencing acceleration. Static E.: Object is at rest.F Force: The influence that can cause an object to be accelerated or retarded; is always in the direction of the net force, hence a vector quantity; the four elementary forces are: Electromagnetic F.: Is an attraction or repulsion G, gravit. const.6.672E-11[Nm2/kg2] between electric charges: d, distance [m] 2 2 2 2 F = 1/(40) (q1q2/d ) [(CC/m )(Nm /C )] = [N] m,M, mass [kg] Gravitational F.: Is a mutual attraction between all masses: q, charge [As] [C] 2 2 2 2 F = GmM/d [Nm /kg kg 1/m ] = [N] 0, dielectric constant Strong F.: (nuclear force) Acts within the nuclei of atoms: 8.854E-12 [C2/Nm2] [F/m] 2 2 2 2 2 F = 1/(40) (e /d ) [(CC/m )(Nm /C )] = [N] , 3.14 [-] Weak F.: Manifests itself in special reactions among elementary e, 1.60210 E-19 [As] [C] particles, such as the reaction that occur in radioactive decay.

  • 1 the History of Vacuum Science and Vacuum Technology
    1 1 The History of Vacuum Science and Vacuum Technology The Greek philosopher Democritus (circa 460 to 375 B.C.), Fig. 1.1, assumed that the world would be made up of many small and undividable particles that he called atoms (atomos, Greek: undividable). In between the atoms, Democritus presumed empty space (a kind of micro-vacuum) through which the atoms moved according to the general laws of mechanics. Variations in shape, orientation, and arrangement of the atoms would cause variations of macroscopic objects. Acknowledging this philosophy, Democritus,together with his teacher Leucippus, may be considered as the inventors of the concept of vacuum. For them, the empty space was the precondition for the variety of our world, since it allowed the atoms to move about and arrange themselves freely. Our modern view of physics corresponds very closely to this idea of Democritus. However, his philosophy did not dominate the way of thinking until the 16th century. It was Aristotle’s (384 to 322 B.C.) philosophy, which prevailed throughout theMiddleAgesanduntilthebeginning of modern times. In his book Physica [1], around 330 B.C., Aristotle denied the existence of an empty space. Where there is nothing, space could not be defined. For this reason no vacuum (Latin: empty space, emptiness) could exist in nature. According to his philosophy, nature consisted of water, earth, air, and fire. The lightest of these four elements, fire, is directed upwards, the heaviest, earth, downwards. Additionally, nature would forbid vacuum since neither up nor down could be defined within it. Around 1300, the medieval scholastics began to speak of a horror vacui, meaning nature’s fear of vacuum.

  • String-Inspired Running Vacuum—The ``Vacuumon''—And the Swampland Criteria
    universe Article String-Inspired Running Vacuum—The “Vacuumon”—And the Swampland Criteria Nick E.

Diagonal 647, E-08028 Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain 3 Academy of Athens, Research Center for Astronomy and Applied Mathematics, Soranou Efessiou 4, 11527 Athens, Greece; [email protected] 4 National Observatory of Athens, Lofos Nymfon, 11852 Athens, Greece * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 15 October 2020; Accepted: 17 November 2020; Published: 20 November 2020 Abstract: We elaborate further on the compatibility of the “vacuumon potential” that characterises the inflationary phase of the running vacuum model (RVM) with the swampland criteria. The work is motivated by the fact that, as demonstrated recently by the authors, the RVM framework can be derived as an effective gravitational field theory stemming from underlying microscopic (critical) string theory models with gravitational anomalies, involving condensation of primordial gravitational waves. Although believed to be a classical scalar field description, not representing a fully fledged quantum field, we show here that the vacuumon potential satisfies certain swampland criteria for the relevant regime of parameters and field range. We link the criteria to the Gibbons–Hawking entropy that has been argued to characterise the RVM during the de Sitter phase. These results imply that the vacuumon may, after all, admit under certain conditions, a rôle as a quantum field during the inflationary (almost de Sitter) phase of the running vacuum.
